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.

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.

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

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.
