In the winter months I could use a commercial after shave product on my dome, however, in the summer months up in the northwoods I find that there is a mathematical connection between the degree of sweetness and the number of deer flies that said sweetness will attract. And after an attack by deer flies, or gnats (vile little bastards who attack in swarms), my poor dome is all covered with bloody bumps that take days to heal. So I try to use the same thing all year round which is my homemade juice consisting of witch hazel, aloe gel, and tea tree oil. It is soothing to the scalp and also has antiseptic and astringent qualities.
