How does everyone apply it? I was trying different ways,, finally I got a little 2oz sprayer from Target, works great.

I simply pour some in my hand and rub it on my head and let it dry, just like using aftershave !!   O0

Well I was trying that,, but always seemed like I was using too much, big bottle was cheap,, but going fast. That was when I started playing around,, and found the sprayer idea worked for me. I think the sprayer cost $.75 or so.

Sprayer's a good way to go with any tonic whether it be witch hazel, alcohol or if u have a liquid aftershave.  You end up not using as much.

hey brkeatr:  storing the witch hazel in the fridge gives a better feel on the noggin' & the coolness will close the pores better.  thus making your dome feel good & keeping U smoooooother longer. O0

Does the witch hazel make your dome shiny?

I use the cheap witch hazel from WalMart and just use the top to a squirt bottle to dispense the right amount in my hand.  I don't go without it.  It is a must for any headshaver.

Thanks Mel, I will try that out !!    O0


I don't think it makes the dome shiny it's just an astringent that shrinks the pores up when your done shaving.....I always apply Nivea balm when I am done shaving and that gives a nice shine... O0

I picked some up at the store tonight, so I'm going to give it a go tomorrow. Do you use it along with Headlube or something? Or just by itself?
