I'm curious to know if anyone has or plans to try this and how did it work?
Iced of course...

I think a nice Earl Grey, if you shave in the morning...otherwise I'd suggest something like an herbal chamomile, or "Sleepy Time" for night shavers.
But it looks like we loose tea drinkers are out of luck!

I used chamomile when I gave it a try. I didn't really see and kind of razor burn relief, but at the time I was using a M3 with can goo, so it was kind of like putting a band-aid on a gunshot wound. 
Tea contains tannin which is well known to decrease bleeding. It doesn't matter if it's green, black, etc. Many folks that have had a wisdom tooth extraction, including myself have been told to place a wet tea bag on the extraction site instead of gauze to help decrease the bleeding. Tannin is also thought to have astringent properties, which may help curb the razor burn. Hope the info helps!
Well then,
I'll just enjoy a big ol glass of young Cabernet the next I rough meself up
Personally, I'm a loose leaf man all the way. Wonder how that would work...
