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

I've also heard good things about the WH w/ Aloe. Thanks for the feedback guys.

I use the kind with aloe vera in it and it works great. I don't know
if they all have it, but the one I use is Thayer's Medicated Superhazel
with Aloe Vera.

I have a bottle of Thayer's WH with Aloe, and to be honest, I can't tell any difference between the times I use it and the times I don't. Of course--as can be seen from the above-noted posts--YMMV.

It also comes in a Lemon scent that is a nice complement to Lime shaving creames and other lime products like Lime Face Food.

zI have a bottle of Proraso A/S splash that contains witch hazel and while I think its a great aftershave, I don't really think it is spectacular or that the witch hazel contributes much. A store in my neighborhood has a special on Thayer's (the whole line) for $5.99 so I will probably end up picking up a bottle just for the hell of it.

The stuff from the drug store smells a little better than cat pee. I only use it if i need too.

I used to use it when I first started wet shaving.

Now I just use an alum block in my regimen.

Apply alum block.

Clean my razor & sink while I let my face rest.

Splash cold water on my face.

Pat dry.

Apply A/S.
