Someone from the darkside has reported getting great results from using this product as an AS. If you are a Witch Hazel user it might be worth a shot.

The Tea Tree oil may diminish the Witch Hazel smell; in which case it would be worth a look. I have some of the Boots Witch Hazel - even with some EO in it, the smell is a little unpleasant. Feels good as a toner but not enough to sway me from Thayers.
 
I use Boots Witch Hazel in a cheap pump bottle and its great as a toner.... what essential oil do you add?
I thought of trying to sort out the smell and make it more like Thayers and other american products?
 
Guy, I tried adding Lavendar, then Orange then a shed load of others. It smells better than it did originally - I should have given each EO more time to blend in before adding the next. I've read on another shaving site that a dash of Aqua Velva and Barbasol Musk works well. I guess you could add a dash or two of whatever AS you prefer.
 
this is actually available in my tiny Boots so i might be tempted to get some in future.

there is also a foaming version of the same product for cleaning pluke-ridden teeny boppers
 
I make my own mixture using a 60/40 ratio of Organic Aloe gel to Witch Hazel and add about 5-10 drops of Olbas oil. I keep this in a Neal's Yard pump bottle. Really cheap, cooling and effective.
 
I find this concept interesting, I have never messed about with scents in case I created the smell of a wasp in heat or something like that (knowing my luck). I have tried mixing a cream and soap with good results.

I must pick up a bottle of that witch hazel. Seems like a nice cheap alternative, I assume they just use the witch hazel as it comes as an A/S?

Don't get it on any mucous membranes you may have about your person though - it cools for about 3µs then burns for about 12 hours. I speak from experience.

We are talking about your nose here? or do you splash it all over like brut :lol:
 
As a kid I had a Brut fight with my brother, this stuff ran down my back and down the crack.
It was only then that I truely knew what Johnny Cash was taking about.
