Thread: Witchhazel as an aftershave?

I use distilled witch hazel from the drugstore which does have alcohol as an inactive ingredient. For those who just want a little more alcohol alcoVap is a spray bottle for alcohol and so I can just add a little.

I'd recommend checking out the dollar stores for products at a discount. I get my alcohol there, even aloe vera sometimes, and I am hitting them up to try to get witch hazel in.

Is Thayer's worth the extra coinage?

So my aftershave routine is:

A cold water rinse
A splash of distilled witch hazel and a little top up spray of alcohol
A fingertip of proraso preshave cream

I have used EE Dickinson's since the 60s......a great antiseptic, good for red-ant bites and bee stings. Have used it as an AS since the 70s.

They used to pack it in glass bottles that looked just like the plastic. The label has hardly changed at all. Like baking soda, laundry blueing and FF blackpowder, some things don't change much. Grant
