Thread: Witch Hazel

Nothing big but I went to Walmart and got some witch hazel last night. Shaved 3 passes this morning and then used the witch hazel. I've never felt better!

Yes, I recently (just prior to Christmas) started using witch hazel and I must say I quite like it. A little seems to go a long way too.

Never a shave without it for me
I started using it two years ago, and will not stop. Ever!

This may be a dumb question but are there any shave soaps or creams with witch hazel in them?

I use witch hazel with a shot glass of 91% rubbing alcohol mixed into a new bottle. Or lately I've been using sea breeze astringent

I use the same kind after every shave good stuff!! and that size bottle last a long time!!! and its cheap!

Hey Smiles,

It goes on after a cold water rinse before post-shave stropping. The bottle you show was also at the local supermarket at about $4.50. Next to it was the old plain jane bottle. I checked the ingredients and they appear the same. I took the fancy bottle back for the plain one at about 1/2 the cost.

I use the scented stuff "Thayers" sold at SRD. SWMBO didn't like the smell of the regular old witch hazel...

I need to get some of this stuff! It gets so much credit.

Try Ogallala Bay Rum aftershaves, they use witch hazel as a base. I love the limes and peppercorns one.
