Yes, there are a lot of folks who use it. I find it very mild, no sting and soothes the skin very nicely.
Use it daily, I love it. It's cheap enough that I can order it from the US and have a better deal than buying something comparable locally.
Yep, I like it. Dickonson's is supposed to be good as well.
I have a bottle and use it occasionally. I find it fine, with a neutral scent as opposed to other witch hazels that have a strong(er) w.h. scents.
There was a big discussion on this board whether Thayers can call their product 'witch hazel' due to their unique way of making it, but that's a different matter. Try it, it's inexpensive and you can be the judge if you like it.
edit: Forgot, I think the addition of aloe is beneficial although it seems a little stickier, which is expected.

There are a number of different options.....and I've tried two: the astringent and the "Superhazel". I'm not sure what the difference between, say, the astringent and the aftershaves are. Superhazel is supposed to be a treatment for skin irritation and contains camphor. Its also slightly more viscous.
Fine products!

Love the stuff. A recent post by ClubmanRob points out that it isn't true witch hazel...but regardless it has legions of fans.
I typically use this if I plan on using an Edt after the shave so my aftershave and Edt scents dont mix.

I love the stuff! I use it every day!
I use it as an aftershave, and a wash before bed. I have the cucumber and rose.
Gentlemen,
I use the Thayers Medicated Superhazel with Aloe Vera formula and am delighted with it.
After the shave, I rinse with hot water, dry, and apply a small splash of the Thayers. Cleanup follows. Then I rinse with cold water, dry, apply another small splash of the Thayers and top it with aftershave balm. Finally comes the aftershave splash or cologne.
I feel like a prince.

I just bought some Dickonson's from my local DS along with a tube of cooling Aloe. I combined the aloe (half a tube) along with about 20 drops of Eucalyptus oil my buddy had. The aloe dissolved after a few good shakes. The Eucalyptus took out any and all witch hazel smell which is a good thing. I have been using it strictly as an astringent but will try it as a post shave treatment. This stuff really works awesome and I use it all over my face applied with a cotton ball. I'm sure I not the first person to do this but thought I would throw it out there for anyone interested. Very good skin care with no burn and good cooling effect.
Highly recommended.
yes. it's good. soothing.
Very soothing...and it dries totally odorless so it won't compete with whatever fragrance you want to use.
I use it all the time, alternating with T.N.Dickinson's (which does not have AV). I use it immediately after my shave (before my formal AS), and often before bed as well.
