I need some advice. I'm looking to get some Thayer's witch hazel to use after I shave and before I put on a balm (i.e., Proraso, Nivea for sensitive skin, etc.), and am unsure of which product to get. I'm hoping to get something with no stinging.

They have "astringents" and they have "toners". The toners are alcohol free and the astringents have 20% grain alcohol. My guess would be to get a toner, but I don't know if that has the same benefits as the astringent. Both products seem to have witch hazel and aloe in them - I guess those are the most important?

Now...even with the toners they come in 3 "flavors" - unscented, lavender, and rose petal...should I stay away from scented versions to decrease my chance of irritation post shave?

Any info would be great...anybody use one or more of these products that could give some feedback?
