For you lads who use all three post shave. I currently use witch hazel and the aloe Vera and I'm wanting to try tea tree oil as well. How much do you guys think? And put it on after witch hazel and before aloe Vera?
-
I mix all 3 items in a pump bottle, 90% witch hazel, 10% aloe, about 12 drops TToil.

Why did you copy and paste my post??
-
If you like it more the consistency of lotion use more aloe than witch hazel.
-
What I've been doing lately is putting the witch hazel in my head as per usual. Then putting a dollop of the aloe Vera gel in my palm and mixing 1 drop of tea tree oil into it.
-
I mix mine in an empty Headslick bottle.
-
Aussie, how do you manage to put witch hazel 'in your head?' lol
-
Obviously a typo. But I'm glad you're easily amused.

Lol

I have a question about the Aloe.. I'm new to shaving and did it out of the blue so I didn't prep for it at all. I have some Aloe GEL sitting around the house for sunburns and what not. Would that work until I get some Aloe Lotion?
-
Shaved earlier with my new Gillette Fusion Proglide power and got a good shave. I do have some spots on my head though.
Would Witch Hazel help with that? Ta
-
Aloe gel is probably better than the lotion. Try get one as natural as possible.
-
O sweet :D.

Thanks for all the information .I'm gong to try Witch Hazel, Aloe Vera and Tea Tree Oil. I have to get some tea tree oil I have the aloe and witch hazel. I Let you know how it works for me. Thanks again This site is great.

I've been using this concoction for a while now:
- A pea-sized dollop of Aloe Vera Gel
- 3 or 4 drops of tea tree oil
- 3 or 4 drops of witch hazel
Mix them together in the palm of your hand until they achieve a lotion-like consistency (they thicken when you mix them) and rub your hands together and spread the goop on your freshly-shaven dome.
It give you a brilliant, shiny, but completely non-greasy finish to start your day.
-
Thanks I will try that as soon as I get tea tree oil.

I've tried facial astringant also those facial cleansing pads like what noxzema has not just for my face but a little on my head. For the same principle as the face to clear up any breakouts and to kill bacteria works good if I have a cut it will sting but clean out the area. P . S . I have not done that in a whilv love the way my face + head would smell after my shave.

aloe gell is what you need my freind, try to nget double strengh it gives a amazing shine O0
-
Been mixing this for a while now, bought some aloe Vera gel, mix in some witch hazel and few drips tea tree and mix...I leave mine in the fridge....very soothing
-
OOOH - I gotta try that! Where do you get "tea tree oil"?
-
I use a pre-mixed concoction I picked up at a vitamin store.. it's witch hazel, tea oil, aloe, and a bunch of other oils & herbs. Stings like the dickens if I have any nicks but it works great as an astringent and preventing ingrown hairs. I'll have to post the brand name later when i get home. Drawing a blank right now LOL
-
BBBA, I use the same mixture. Actually use it on most of my body, very good for skin. I mix about 90% WH, 10% Aloe, about 10 drops of oil. I mix it in a used hand soap pump bottle. I found the TT oil in the ethnic hair products area at Walmart.
-
You can buy 100% tea tree oil from health food shops, its a natural antiseptic and great for cuts and nicks

Thanks everyone....for the great suggestions.
I will pick up the gel and tea tree oil and give it a shot.
Placing it in the refrig is an interesting thought O:O
-
Been reading about this concoction for quite awhile. Finally ran out of the after shave balm I'd been using. I mixed 1/2 witch hazel with 1/2 Aloe Vera Gel that already has tea tree oil as well as lidocane in the mixture. It's marketed for sun burns but I'm thinking this will work. I had an old pump bottle leftover from when I used to buy commercial massage oil. These days I use 100% pure grape seed oil for massaging and my clients love it and it's literally half the price.
