The big bottle costs around $10 or so. By Jove, the other day a local store had it on sale for about $6. Whoa! Was this heaven or what? So I bought five bottles just in case someday I end up on a desert island.

Just ordered 2 bottles ( Lavender and rose ) at the local GNC for 9.99 buy 1 get 1 half off deal right now. Will try it next week when it comes in.

Where can you get Thayer's Witch Hazel without ordering it directly from Thayer? I use generic witch hazel, and although the bad smell dissapates after it dries, I would rather have some that smells half decent.

I got mine from my local grocery store. You could also check out a Walmart or CVS or Walgreen's. Not sure if the CVS or Walgreen's will carry Thayer's but I am certain Walmart should.

Gentlemen's Best carries Thayers @ $9.00

Hello, Firefighter:

Most vendors mentioned at Straight Razor Place carry the product. So does Whole Foods. Also, many vitamin stores have it. You can order it from vitacost.com, too. The one I always use is Thayer's Super Medicated Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera. It has no smell that I can detect and it is good stuff.

I just bought 10- 12 oz bottles of the Lavender toner from Amazon for $2.16 ea plus $6.95 shipping. It shows 17 left.

I gues it would be helpful if I included the link.

Now you're set for life.........................................Unles s you're getting into the retail business.

I stopped at several pharmacies and grocery stores on my way home lastnight. Couldn't find Thayers witch hazle or glycerine (I did find glycerine, but it was in little enama dispensers. Convienent for adding a few drops at a time I'm sure, but I was unsure if it was the right stuff at the time. It is.). The only thing I found was a styptic pencil at a Rite Aide.
Everyone only seems to have the Dr. something or other's or the equivalent, which all comes from the same plant (same bottle and label layout). All of which contain 14% alcohol.
Found the Thayers and vegetable glycerine at WholeFoods. Decent selection of different scents. With and without aloe.
I noticed the superhazle has 20% alcohol. Or it appeared that way. There may have been something that used a 20% mixture of denatured alcohol for extraction. I can't exactly remember at the moment.

I wish! By the time my wife and son got through with me I might have a year's supply left.
