By all means try it - as an aftershave its very refreshing anyway and does have soothing properties as well as being an astringent.

Cut the facial hair in an angle ie use a slanted razor, I really don't know why but for me it's the only way to make sure I never get spots.
Use a well coated sharp blade like the Personna Lab or SuperMax Titanium.
Use soap or cream with a very high lubricity poinnt like the Maca root for example, or use a good pre shave between passes like Noxzema or Proraso.
Use Witch hazel after the shave before applying moisturizer or cologne.
Witch hazel in Savers is 99p btw.
Use Witch
