For those of you who use witch hazel after you shave (such as Thayer's) do you splash a little on and follow up with an alcohol splash or balm?
I don't like the alcohol burn, either.I splash on the witch hazel and then apply a balm. I'm not a fan of alcohol in ASB's as I find that they irritate my skin. I find Nivea Sensitive ASB is excellent in terms of price and performance.

I never dry my face after shaving. After a warm water rinse and a cold water splash I then apply some Thayers witch hazel which I allow to air dry while I finish up my routine. Then, I apply an aftershave splash.
Which Thayer's do you guys like best?
I splash the WH then when dry follow with balm.

Warm water rinse, cold water rinse, splash on witch hazel. Police the area, clean up. AS splash or balm depending how I feel. I prefer the generic store witch hazel. I can't see spending that much for Thayers.
