Thread: Witch Hazel

i just bought a bottle, but i think i got ripped off just because it was mixed with lavender. (355ml) 10$. has any one ever used witch hazel for pre-shave treatment or just post shave?

After seeing so many members use witch hazel I decided I must try this stuff. I purchased Thayers original formula and I must say its great stuff.
Post shave it really helps with razor burn and leaves the skin moisturised. Like I said great stuff.

I use the Thayers brand alcohol free.That's all I use for after shave and it works great!

I get Thayers at the grocery store for $10.I don't think you got ripped off.Check the link:

Thayers Alcohol-Free Lavender Witch Hazel Toner - $9.95 : Thayers Natural Remedies, Since 1847

well that makes me feel better. thanks for the link. i don't really get razor burn. what i do get is after a couple hours of finishing the ATG pass my skin will develop bumps not razor bumps. but like cold skin will like goose bumps. don't know why so ill try this stuff see if it helps. ill take a pic of it.

I buy Thayer's at Whole Foods for $9.95.

I buy Thayers as well, so far I have the Rose and Lemon bottles and I find them just right for me. Not over powering at all

Walmart is probably the best source for witch-hazel, provided you have one in your area. Most contain 14% alcohol so you may have to pay more by ordering online to get an alcohol free witch-hazel. I admit to using it after my cold water rinse. There is something special about the result. It is cooling without burning and stops small nicks from bleeding. However, I also support a minimalist approach to post-shave. I use only cold water if that is sufficient, then I move to witch-hazel if I need it. It is very effective.

Witch Hazel is my post-shave. Sometimes nothing else, or I'll splash on some after shave after the witch hazel. It closes pores and heals small nicks.

I'm thinking the Walmart brand that I bought was only a dollar or two, but I might be wrong.
