Ed's Witch Hazel is real good !!

Yep, I just put it in an old barber's bottle and now use it everyday.
Never used this before, so still wondering in what order to put it on,
ie, before putting on skin moisturiser ?....It seems to replace the
need for that, but what do I know ?

Leaves my face feeling less fugly :)

Thanks Ed !!

That looks like a plastic tea bottle, re-labeled with a C.N. Dickinson, that finally found a home in a salad dressing bottle,,,,,:hmmm:,,,,,,,:rofl2:

Witch hazel is primarily a skin toner and a mild antiseptic, so I apply it before anything else,
let it dry, and then apply whatever else, such as a moisturizer, balm, or aftershave lotion.

I was thinking vinegar bottle from the fish and chip shop :) very cool though :)

:rofl2: You guys crack me up !!

I just hope Ed's feelings are not hurt after all that work he did to create a custom leak proof travel bottle for you.
Ed is a sensitive guy you know. :rofl2:

I do like the bottles and would definitely incorporate them into my shave den if I came across them.

I almost choked on my lunch when I saw that picture!
Just more pieces of history to be preserved.

I like to do 2 coats of witch hazel and then some Nivea post balm.

I have something to go with your salad dressing bottles Bongo...

Hi Mick,
The Colavita 250ml Olive Oil bottle is an interesting alternative to the Holbrooks.
I will post some "Olden Days" labels in the next few days.

I nearly just choked, thanks for the laugh john I needed that.
It's actually a plastic water botle, that has a cn Dickinson label taped on that has part of the label from a pump top soap bottle that the witch hazel was decanted into before I packed it up into the water bottle and flew it to Perth with me, then posted it to bongo.
Sorry I am late to the party I missed the thread.
And so I am not left out, my brut splash on bottle that I keep in my work bag:

That's how I used it too.

I use it in hot towle prep or use a splash whipping up a lather
