thanks a lot.. i was wondering how that would go.. i had imagined you'd have had problems with it drying out.. will you continue using it for post shave?

I take a clean jar pour a bottle of witch hazel in it, then take an aloe leaf strip the pulp out add to the jar.
Then take a couple of big lemons and remove just the thin outer yellow zest add it to the jar. Shake it up good everyday for a week then strain it back in the original bottle.
Works great and I love the way the lemons smell.
Everybody that has tried it loved it.

I would never have thought to use Aloe plant. That's why I love this site! Thanks for the idea.
I used to slice open a fresh leaf and rub it into burns. Works great for healing!
I have on order some Proraso shave soap with Aloe Vera and green tea.
Purchased an Aloe plant. Should be able to use that instead of having to buy a leaf every few days.
Aloe Vera is really very beneficial plant. I use Aloe Vera gel regularly on my face which has got acne scars and it really works. I had also used it for treatment of dandruff. After using Aloe Vera gel on my itchy scalp i feel much relief and dandruff is reduced to much extent. It also promotes hair growth. So, Aloe Vera benefits can be largely seen in skin and hair loss treatment.
I used to use aloe vera as a "shave gel" in my past life as a mach 3 user. It helped to reduce the irritation from shaving with a poor tool. I haven't needed it since I made the switch to proper wet shaving but I still rub it on my head after a head shave (kind of like an aftershave/moisturizer. It makes my head smooth and shiny and reduces the appearance of red bumps after a day or so with a light application each morning.
