I've been experimenting with a variety of products to get the shave just right. It has been constant improvement and the majority problems I had in the past (redness, bumps, pain) have been getting better. I did still suffered from some minor irritation however.
Trying to remedy that, I decided to try a witch hazel product. I had seen some Thayer's Witch Hazel and Aloe aftershave at a shop several weeks ago and decided to go and buy some. When I got there I found out that the store discontinued stocking it. I did pick up some plain witch hazel (84%) in alcohol and gave it a try.
Glad to report that I got the best shave I've ever given myself with no irritation.
Anyway, I wanted to find out if you should use any kind of toner or some kind of moisturizer after using witch hazel. I haven't used anything with alcohol in it on my skin in a long time, and I think I might end up drying my skin out and causing other problems. Thanks in advance for the advice.
