DIY SOOTHING POST-SHAVE SPLASH

For those who line-up or trim the beard bottom, this DIY recipe is so effective and soothing. Minimize razor bumps, razor burn, irritation, and skin breakout.

Try adding cedarwood oil. It helps with pimples as well. You can also substitute peppermint with eucalyptus.

Dear mr. sultan of silver. I just want to thank you for posting this and sharing this information. I’ve suffered with acne and horriawful ingrown hairs for over twenty years and nothing has worked. Wondering if a more natural approach would help I came across this video. I purchased the supplies you recommended and the results have been fantastic! This is so soothing that I find myself using it everyday regardless of shaving or not. Thank you

I really appreciate you sharing this information via YouTube. I’ve recently gone back to wet shaving my entire face after many years of just trimming my beard back with a hair trimmer. The results were just like you said. Lots of bumps, pimples, cuts, dry skin and irritation all around my face. After watching your video I decided to try your method of making my own Witch Hazel post shave splash. I used the same brand Witch Hazel that you did with cherry blossom essential oil.(I happened to find a little bottle on clearance at Michael’s) What a difference. I love using this as after shave. Smells really nice too. I’ve almost used the whole batch and have since bought the same essential oils that you used in the video and am going to make it the same way you did. Again thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us all here on YouTube.-Also I saw your video on The Ultimate Hot Towel Shave at Players Barber Shop. Loved it!

Thanks for this recipe. I use witchhazel already, the ingredients are simple and readily available and this takes my skin care a step further.

Ever since I used a double edge my shaving experience has been much better. No razor burn.

Thankyou for this. Wanted a natural cheap alternative for an after shave and this is perfect.

I would only make a couple of adjustments. Transfer to a mist spray bottle for the entire face not just shaving areas. Spray on and leave to dry, alot cleaner and evenly distributed than pushing and pulling the already sensitive skin.
Some other oils could be added: Bergamot, Lemon verbena for a citrus blast. I haven't tried peppermint, usually use menthol.
Great job!

I use witch hazel daily, gonna have to try it with the essential oils added. Nice video!!

As soon as I breath, blink my eyes, go to bed, wake up I have an ingrown/bump. As soon as I started using this (alternating with just plain alcohol) I DO NOT have anymore bumps. I tried everything and I thought I would have this problem forever. Thank you so much! I have hyperpigmentation so I use Ambi to lighten the area AFTER I apply the witch hazel mixture.

Thankyou for putting this out. I do quite a few head shaves as with the line ups, would this receipt be ok to apply to a freshly shaved head. Thankyou David

Can you post the link on how to care for short beard?

[simondixon]

This is how I got into your vids and it’s my belief this is your best usp. Being the dad advise some of us never got in a practical way..

[RichardNorby]

do you have instructions for making an aftershave?

[kp]

I did this, following your recipe. When you put it on, it's very mild. But after a couple of hours you can smell it better.

[germanshepherd]

little confused, witch hazel closes the pores since its an astringent so how is the tea tree oil getting into the pores to kill germs etc.

[PCConditioning]

Is it OK if keep the bottle in the fridge so it goes on cool or will that damage any of the ingredients?

[hollywooddaveon]

Thank you so much for this video sir🙏🏾☺️ VERY informative and helpful 💯

[gowestjeff]

Stopping at the drug store on my way home from work for witch hazel, already have the essential oils, looks like a winning recipe!

[dominodon]

Could this recipe be used as an entire facial toner/astringent say after a face wash. I already use that witch hazel after I watch my face and shave.
