While both soothe the skin after shaving, alcohol-free balms tend to be better for men with dry or sensitive skin. They act as a lotion, moisturizing the skin and restoring essential oils. After shave balms have a richer, more luxurious texture and should be massaged into the skin.
Men with oilier, acne-prone skin will typically respond better to splash-on after shave. If you've got normal skin, you can decide based on personal preference. Some men also change seasonally, using after shave in the summer and balms in the winter.
The balms come in a wide variety of scents so you can feel free to experiment with finding one that is good for your skin type and layers nicely with your cologne. Typically the scent only lasts 1-2 hours so it's fairly safe to experiment.
