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?
hey cam:  U apply the witch hazel after your headshave.  1st do the cold water rinse, ice cube rub, pat dry, and apply the witch hazel.  keep it stored in the fridge 2 give it a better "cooling" feel 2 the dome.  thanks... brkeatr 4 the wikipedia info on the witch hazel. O0

I used to use it when I first started shaving, and it really helped on the irritation.  I just held my head over the sink and sqirted it all over my noggin, then rubbed it in. Don't use it any more though.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But in practice, there is.

I first started using Witch Hazel  when I first went Sly (thanks to the sage advice of Warhawk!)  I have a sprayer (which works great) and I also have some in a salad dressing jar (the kind you buy for a couple of bucks and use for vinegar and oil, with the small little opening on top).  I use them interchangeably as the mood dictates.  After my shower/shave I towel dry.  Following that comes the Witchy treatment.  Brush my toofesus, then go for the Lube.  In the summer I keep some in the fridge.  Boy howdy!

I bought CVS brand,, (all I could find) but it has a 1" opening. So when I tried to dump a small splash in my hand,, I was wasting a lot, the salad dressing bottle is a good idea too.

Witch hazel shouldn't do anything adverse to skin.  It's just a cheap simple astringent that tighten the pores.  Just to echo what's been said, on it's own it doesn't really give much shine but because of it's tightening effect, it will make scalp that little bit smoother.

Once dried, you moisturizer like glossy for example should go on that little bit smoother and buff to a slightly better shine.
