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 RUclips. 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 RUclips.-Also I saw your video on The Ultimate Hot Towel Shave at Players Barber Shop. Loved it!
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!
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
bergamot lavender sage menthol summer aftershave... Tea tree oil's a fragrance I tend to forget about momentarily... It's a bit overwhelming... I might try eucalyptus as a substitute for menthol...
I don't know if you ever noticed, but most witch hazel is distilled into alcohol? There are alchole versions that are scented with essential oils. But I do love me some witch hazel after shave though. Mostly because I'm sensitive to aluminum.
Gray Bailey lol. Ok fair enough. I have written down your recipe and look for the ingredients here in South Africa. Keen to see how this compares to the Clubman. Keep doing these videos for us guys, its appreciated.
Hi George I performed my first straight razor shave on myself.once I'd got passed the nerves and put on the same cocktail as u mixed in the video feels like a new face.thanks for all your video's an absolute wealth of experience and knowledge.
+Sal Cannarelli I love electric razors! The way they make them now, you can get pretty smooth but I still have to shave twice a day with an electric if I'm going out and need to be on-point.
Gray Bailey they're nice and gets the job done, but I do miss a traditional shave. I started with a straight razor cause my mom is a licensed beautician and taught me many years ago. Maybe I was doing something wrong
Ya, love mine. Not cheap though if you want a good one. Though i have started getting back into shaving, but this time with a straight razor and safety razer. I'm finding that the shaving cream, blade, technique make a big difference when it comes to cuts, burn, and break outs.
It's funny we both shaved right around the same time. I meant to ask, do you have any recommendations for an all purpose wash for extremely sebaceous skin? Twice a week I use Sea Breeze astringent in my beard, scalp, and areas surrounding my hairlines, I also use vinegar once every other week on my scalp. Portuguese genetics make me worse than a Labrador retriever.
I checked and the one in the blue Dickinsens bottle featured in your vid contains 14% grain alcohol. Same for the yellow Dickinsens bottle 14% alcohol. Thayers doesnt though. Quinns doesnt.
Thanks for this tip! One question though, would it be possible to mix the essential oils together with the alcohol and have the best of both, or would they have a reaction and lose their effect due to the alcohol?
Why didn't you make a video of you cutting your huge beard off??? That would have been a awesome video to watch. Big moment I think for you and the channel.
your decision to trim your beard has made me severely gassy and frequently stroke my beard with regret. also my butthole quivers uncontrollably whenever I see tugboats. for the love of Ron Jeremy please grow back your beard.
Try adding cedarwood oil. It helps with pimples as well. You can also substitute peppermint with eucalyptus.

Yeah man. Works wonders for me and my clients. Cheers!
@@ListenMySon it looks like you are using the one with alcohol in it? So it is still going to burn a little right?
I'm a barber student, bless you George.
Thanks for this recipe. I use witchhazel already, the ingredients are simple and readily available and this takes my skin care a step further.

Thankyou for this. Wanted a natural cheap alternative for an after shave and this is perfect.
Ever since I used a double edge my shaving experience has been much better. No razor burn.
I use witch hazel daily, gonna have to try it with the essential oils added. Nice video!!
Tea Tree Oil is so beneficial. So many other uses for it too.

just use thayers witch hazel.. same result
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.
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
bergamot lavender sage menthol summer aftershave... Tea tree oil's a fragrance I tend to forget about momentarily... It's a bit overwhelming... I might try eucalyptus as a substitute for menthol...
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..
Can you post the link on how to care for short beard?
I may have to try that. I normally use a bar of alum which works just as well.
do you have instructions for making an aftershave?
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.
Thank you so much for this video sir🙏🏾☺️ VERY informative and helpful 💯
Just made your recipe. Very nice! Thanks for posting!
Stopping at the drug store on my way home from work for witch hazel, already have the essential oils, looks like a winning recipe!
You will LOVE it. Very refreshing and super effective against irritation.
Is it OK if keep the bottle in the fridge so it goes on cool or will that damage any of the ingredients?
I don't know if you ever noticed, but most witch hazel is distilled into alcohol? There are alchole versions that are scented with essential oils. But I do love me some witch hazel after shave though. Mostly because I'm sensitive to aluminum.
Yeah, T.N. Dickinson's is 14% grain alcohol. Thayer's is alcohol free.
Awesome. I'll make some and share it with my boys and see what they think. Love the content.
I ordered the trays and whitener thanks for the tip.
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.
Probably. But you should moisture afterwards with unscented, paraben free moisturizer
I find the essential oils don’t produce a strong smell. Quite weak.
Does this work for bald heads as well
Is there any reason this would not work just as well after shaving your head?
Love your videos, I'm very interested in pip smoking and have watched a ton of your videos, but I still feel like I don't know where to start
Sal Cannarelli Cool. Go to www.pipesandcigars.com and get a starter kit.
Gray Bailey I'll check it out, thanks!
Love these videos. What is your take on Clubman Pinaud as an aftershave balm?
Gray Bailey lol. Ok fair enough. I have written down your recipe and look for the ingredients here in South Africa. Keen to see how this compares to the Clubman. Keep doing these videos for us guys, its appreciated.
Thanks for the tip! I have struggled with this problem for a while now. Not with just the beard but also neckline. I will get it a shot! subed
Do the essential oils mix well with the witch hazel???
Just try Clubman.
So mix those ingredients, but anyone know how much oz/ml is this bottle of witch hazel?
16 oz
Thanks for the video, was very helpful!
Everyday I'm finding more uses for my essential oils.
On a side note, where did you get that awesome lamp??!
Hi George I performed my first straight razor shave on myself.once I'd got passed the nerves and put on the same cocktail as u mixed in the video feels like a new face.thanks for all your video's an absolute wealth of experience and knowledge.
Also no matter what razor I use, I always tend to break out so, I went to just using an electric shaver
+Sal Cannarelli I love electric razors! The way they make them now, you can get pretty smooth but I still have to shave twice a day with an electric if I'm going out and need to be on-point.

+John The Cat I like Pine Tar soap.
Dickinsins witch hazel contains alcohol.
Not all of them. The one I use is alcohol free.
I checked and the one in the blue Dickinsens bottle featured in your vid contains 14% grain alcohol. Same for the yellow Dickinsens bottle 14% alcohol. Thayers doesnt though. Quinns doesnt.
Great stuff.
Thanks Sir Bruno
What type of clippers did you use to clip down your beard? I usually use a Wahl beard trimmer with a high guard.
+Brandon Castaneda Andis Excel. Detachable blade clipper.
Thank you
You are looking and sounding robust and vigorous in this video.
Thanks for this tip! One question though, would it be possible to mix the essential oils together with the alcohol and have the best of both, or would they have a reaction and lose their effect due to the alcohol?
Tea tree oil works as alcohol, it’s anti fugal and anti bacterial and all that good stuff.
Great video .. i will give it a try
No happy hour skincare?
Thanks for sharing!!✊🏽
Why not use an alum block?
That is an option but the splash is quite pleasant
Papi4l2 I do both. First the alum, and then a splash. Really cleans the skin up well☺️
Thank you! Def make a bottle and sell for $33 🪄📈🧙♂️
Nice video but really alcohol is one of the most important ingredient in the aftershave, I love the sensation on my skin
Alcohol is one of the worst things for your skin. Try adding peppermint or capsicum in his recipe for that tingle.
Absolute legend.
You’re awesome
"Post-shave" instead of aftershave? "Shaving" is a bad word for many people? What sort of people do you associate with?
Just made this. Very fresh. Thanks for the recipe.
You use it very rare with this beard.
Why didn't you make a video of you cutting your huge beard off??? That would have been a awesome video to watch. Big moment I think for you and the channel.
+Joseph Conley It was fast ...and boring. Didn't interest me.
Gray Bailey dang, seems like a big moment. No beard cut in over a year right?
Damn you lol sooo good with out the bush
your decision to trim your beard has made me severely gassy and frequently stroke my beard with regret. also my butthole quivers uncontrollably whenever I see tugboats. for the love of Ron Jeremy please grow back your beard.
+Hunter Blue Get used to the tugboats dude lol.
He looks mixed like half black and half white. Alot of people these days got some white and black in them in some form or another.
What a racist comment...
Lavender agustifolia is way too floral
