So, time for Randy to make a review for this one.
I used it with Maca Root shave cream old formula.

Scent: Not much, I would say it is clean and light, once applied it disappears and does not interfere if you use any cologne.

Texture: It is a heavy gel in clear blue colour, difficult to pour it to your hand because it is not watery at all. It feels like a pure aloe vera gel, although it is a bit heavier. I used more than enough, and it was difficult to spread it on the face. Once applied, it dried COMPLETELY, with not a single bit of grease. It felt like I didn't put anything on my face. Many people here will appreciate this, I didn't. However, the face felt silky smooth and any stinging disappeared.

Performance: It cools the skin, it felt nice on the face, but I definitely have used way better balms/gels. When it dried, my face was starting to be tight and now I'm writing this, I can't really move my lips very comfortable. I'm not saying that it is bad, just not my preference. However, it is a gel that you could use and immediately go out for a walk without feeling shiny.
I could say that it feels the same like a pure Aloe Vera Gel, although it is heavier when first applied.

Final Thoughts: I didn't dislike it, but it won't be my go to balm. Having tried tons of balms and moisturizers, I prefer the Natura Siberica Yak & Yeti over this one any time. It is near the average point of balms, in the same league with Proraso. Good ingredients list though.

The Body Shop always has testers you can try. I have the shave cream and have tried the aftershave gel tester. Nice aqua / sport / fresh scent, not dissimilar from what you will find in the case of many deodorants. This is not a bad thing. I prefer a fresh scent to the more mature, heavy aftershave scents more similar to what you find with colognes.

On a side note, I passed by The Body Shop today and stopped in to smell some of the other things they have in the men's section. Loved the Guarana & Coffee Energizing Moisturizer. No coffee scent whatsoever. Smelled more like kumquat. Very refreshing. If they made an aftershave gel in this scent, I would be all over it.

What? You didn't grab the water-gel?
