I think he uses it right after the tequila.

Thayers, i never get unpleasant smells...

I have a bottle of the Dickinson's as well (got it at the local Walmart) and I will say it does have a "different" smell to it. It doesn't smell like tequila (I should know, I HATE that stuff) but it's still odd. I wasn't sure I was going to like it when I first tried it, and I still don't LIKE it, but it doesn't bother me anymore.

I look forward to trying a few of the Thayer scented WH's at some point

I actually don't use the alum and I just use the cold water and witch hazel. Then to the AS balm. I do want to try the alum though.

Alcohol and shaving don't mix.... yet there are so many alcohol based aftershaves. HA.....HA...............HA.

I could use the tequila in place of the bay rum.

I smell it too!

I've been wondering what the witch hazel smell reminds me of and, by golly, that's it. It's not identical by any means, but it has that same, sort of salty, smell I associate with the after taste of Jose Cuervo.

AHA! Finally someone else who smells it! Thank you!. Up until this point, I thought I was the only one who got it. Actually I asked my gf the other day and she said she smelled it too so I knew I wasn't completely nuts but it helpes when someone hundreds of miles away sees my point as well.

well IMHO when you use tequila as a post shave product, do you slap some on your face, or do you just rub the worm over the shaved area, i am trying to figure that one out. and then do you rub your face with salt and lemon afterwards, or just use beer like i used to do.

i awnsered my own question this evening, i picked up a bottle of thayers with lemon, so i get the tequila and the lemon, now i just need to rub my face with salt, and i will end up with skin so tough, i wont need to use a strop, i will just rub my razor across my cheek 50 times and then shave.

Regular old Witch Hazel does stink. When I use it, my GF smells it, and hates it. I'm going to try some of SRD's Scented ones...See if they're any better...
