Thread: witch hazel?

I've heard of guys using witch hazel as post shave, does it have to be special or just regular like at walmart?

T.N. Dickinson's is a great brand,,,,many uses other than post shave.

what other uses?

Witch Hazel is Witch Hazel, I think. I guess a lot have added ingredients. I get mine from a Health Food shop, it's just Witch Hazel without fragrance etc. I don't use it a lot, but it is nice on the skin, esp if you have oily skin.

Pre shave? During the shave? Anointing one's feet (or the feet of others).

Mix 25ml witch hazel with 25ml Aloe Vera gel, add a drop or two of lime essential oil to the mix, you have a home made balm.

One of my after shave balms has witch hazel in it... Castle Forbes.

Sounds great, but does it mix well? Or is the gel not very soluble?
