Ok so there's a bunch of comments about using witch hazel after a shave. My question, since i'm planning on using it for the first time tomorrow, is how do you apply it. The bottle says with a cottonball but couldn't u just slap some on the dome? Or is it just one of those things that are best done in a tedious manner. Also, should I cover my whole dome or just the areas that look red and might be an ingrown folicle?
Okay. I think this thread has just motivated me to try witch hazel myself. One question, though, with a litt le backstorey. I spend most of the year in a climate and work environment whee I'm constantly going back and forth between places that are chilled (walk-in refrigerators and freezers) and places that are warm to hot. Aloe Vera gel and the Nivea after shave balm both make my scalp feel nice and smooth in the cool areas but they start to feel greasy when I'm someplace warm. Will witch hazel help me avoid the greasy feeling?
I use dickinsons and it's great stuff
