Thread: Witch Hazel...do you use it?

Thanks alot, now I'll be thinking about it too.

Great movie, BTW.

I have great results with Thayers alcohol free witch hazel with aloe.

Witch Hazel

Works just great and with the alum block all but eliminates irritation and ingrown hairs on my neck. I also like rubbing some of the witch hazel on my nose after the shave. closes the pores.

The witch hazel is part of my daily shave regimen. It does have a smell that is reminiscent of sunscreen to me which I've gotten used to. My wife actually loves that smell and says it gives her many fond memories of summer.

I like Dickinson's WitchHazel. I find if I use it alone, it leaves my skin feeling toned and moist. If I use it with another product, the other product seems to cancel out the witchhazel, so I use it alone nowadays. I agree with the above that it has no smell but it does feel good.

I like both Dickinson's and Thayers brands when spring rolls around, mood and Walmart dictates which. The latter being the only retailer in Canada that I know of that carries Dickinson's and cheap at that. I stick to the alum block in winter as it's quite dry in Canada during winter and I use a moisturizer for head an face.

Kind regards,

I also mix the witch hazel into other things. Right now, I have a bottle of Thayer's witch hazel with some Clubman in it.

I use Thayer's Witch Hazel Skin Astringent as an after shave.

Okay, I gave you a thanks on that one. Great movie.

Also, thanks to everyone for the useful feedback. I picked up some witch hazel from CVS, and I've noticed a nice toning of the skin after using it.

When I first tried it out, I had a hard time getting used to the Dickinson's scent. It was sort of like a weird smelling wood or something. Now, I'm addicted to it...even my wife likes to use it on her skin and has come to like the smell of it. The scent dries nice and clean and the toning is unbelievable! I'm even to the point where I just use this instead of one of the many after shaves that I've gathered over the years.

I see no reason for using anything much more than Dickinson's --- does the trick for my no-prob skin.

I use Dickinson's or Thayer's ('bout out of Thayer's, though). I use it first to tone and close up pores before another AS, or just use it alone and then apply whatever EDT or cologne.
