    Default 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?

    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.

    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.

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