You're lucky the stuff didn't eat your face away. I know a guy who used it daily for years and he looked like the hideous sun demon.

I bought a bottle of the regular Thayers/Aloe/Witch Hazel/Lemon and liked it but, at $8.00, felt a little ripped off. WHen it was near empty I went to the drug store and bought some aloe cold process gel, lemon essence, 91% rubbing alcohol and witch hazel. I'm on my third version and have it perfect (for me, anyhow). Using the empty Thayers 12-ounce bottle... Originally Posted by thebigspendur

Lovely scent, smooth on the skin, mildly antiseptic, dry in five minutes or so. I use it after every shave and think this recipe, for about a buck a bottle, is much nicer than the original Thayers."We'll talk, if you like. I'll tell you right out, I am a man who likes talking to a man who likes to talk."

My wife uses a SR on her legs and after shaving she uses the juice of one of our aloe plants to massage her legs. She cuts off a sprig of aloe and puts it in a plastic bag for later use. She claims it works better than anything she has tried

Speik, Pre de Provence, I Coloniali, and Institut Karite are all known for their skin healing/moisturizing properties.

Witch hazel works like Magic!! Then I use an alcohol based splash to disinfect and i have near perfect complexion. Of course just shaving with a straight razor has a lot to do with that. No more razor bumps or irritation I got from the disposables.

The same except for the complexion. A lot of south Texas and south Louisiana sun pretty well cooked out any hope for passing as a kid. Originally Posted by Steel
