Well, I'd say after your shave and coldwater rinse, splash on witch hazel and pat it in like aftershave, then give it a few minutes to work before applying the regular aftershave

That's how I use my RV friendly witch hazel. It keeps the sensitivity down and allows me to shave daily. Regular witch hazel has distilled alcohol in it but not in great quantitities so it wouldn't be too much different than an aftershave
