I've read several post here and elsewhere that guys use Witch Hazel and Aloe on their scalp after shaving.
I thought that sounded familiar. Those are the two main ingredients in PreparationH Medicated Wipes.
CAUTION: Your head might disappear altogether.
Lol. Before I became a member here, the primary job for witch hazel in our house was for that problem not for soothing a shaved head. I know, tmi.
A lot of guys here use the witch hazel aloe and tea tree oil combo for aftershave. I've found that it also works as a preshave.
