One cream to rule them all

Getting older, I seem to get a lot tighter too... and buying any toiletry appear an un-necessary expense.
Recently I found out that Assos chamois cream is an excellent after shave... it prevents irritation and leaves a fresh minty note... the best I have ever used, in fact

Does it come in a container which you can easily fix with off the shelf parts if it breaks though?0

Quite.
Though I do obey the no double-dipping rule with my tub of cream. But still.0 -
You can always use Sudocream which is cheaper and does the same thing. And no, the Assos cream isn't better.x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

I've tried that... the sudocrem leaves your face looks white, because of the heavy load of titanium oxide... Assos doesn't do that

Actually I used to think this being a tight yorkshire git, but then pursuade by a colleague I bought some assos and it is better than Sudo. Sudo has a thicker stickier texture and you don't get the under carriage cooling effect.
Sudo mixed with regular aqueous creme and a sprig of mint might be your perfect no frills cheap cost substitute.Bianchi Infinito CV

Yes but you are off topic, we are talking aftershaves here... let's not go into a debate about which cream is best for your nuts.
We can either
1) Find new applications for chamois creme (Bearing lubricant?)
2) find alternative products that work as an aftershaveleft the forum March 20230 -
Paulo, do you have two tubs one for the face and one for the nether regions? You should try Rapha Chamois cream and their after shave cream for legs and face, very good and smells nice too. Better than Assos IMO.Pegoretti

I've heard of cyclists shaving their legs, but shaving your nuts is total dedication. Respect is due.0
