For those of you that do use a witch hazel after shave how are they when they are scented is it a big difference from the witch hazel you can get at the pharmacy.

If anyone wants to add what their favorite aftershave is witch hazel or not I would love to know. I read on the forums all the time about different ones but just looking to see what others are using and if there is anything real different out there. What you use and why you like it.

For myself I just use old spice classic after shave. The old spice reminds me of when I was a kid and use to watch my dad shave and he would use old spice. My wife on the other hand not a big fan of old spice tells me I smell like an old man. I then use Zirh after shave soothing lotion, Love Zirh products. I was looking at the Clubman and bay rum type after shaves and was wondering how those are as well.

In my experience, I use the Thayers Witch Hazel Astringent (little alcohol in it), then a Balm, then Thayers Witch Hazel Aftershave (more alcohol) and because it's scent (which I love) goes away in minutes, I use either Clubman Original or Bay Rum.

I've found that this combination works great for me and gives me a smooth finish and no irritation at all, considering that I have relatively sensitive skin

Good Luck!!!!!

I like the Thayer's Witch Hazel Astringent. It works well and smells good to me.
