I wanted to get into the world of Bay Rum, so I chose this one as my first. I absolutely LOVE the cobalt blue bottle and the nostalgic look of the label.
I didn't use a separate witch hazel, since it is my understanding that the product has witch hazel as one of the main ingredients. The first time I used it, I merely patted some on my face father my cold rinse. The reviewers weren't kidding when they talk about the burn. It's not alcohol burn, but it definitely is strong. It felt almost as if I had put icy hot on my face!!
The second day I began cutting it with my Nivea for men aftershave balm. Problem solved. I still feel a little warmth, but it is nice as opposed to painful.
My wife also likes the "Woodsy" (her word) smell. I think she is actually referring to the clove smell that is so often talked about in these reviews.
In short, I would recommend abstract you at least try this product once. I myself will prolly be purchasing more items from Ogallala in the future.
Great shaves to you.
