Witch Hazel in bulk

[mrmoonbeam]

Came across this at the local hardware store.
Your average bottle of Witch Hazel runs $3.50 for 16oz, and lasts me about 2 months.
Bulk Gallon runs $18 for 128oz.
Costs about 2/3 the price in bulk, and will last me through the shave-ocolypse

FYI, this was in the "Horse Care" section. I've seen it online, but shipping costs made this unreasonable.

LOL your set for a while!

Do horses use it prior to, or after their normal aftershave?

16 oz of generic Witch Hazel costs $1.52 at Walmart and $1.60 at Dollar General. That's 10 cents or less per ounce.
Buying your bottle costs 14 cents an ounce.

So it is still cheaper in smaller quantities.

I have a 55 gal drum.

That should come in handy if you like to apply it by kiddie pool

I think horses just use it to clean their faces, everybody knows horses don't shave.

Somehow, and despite the fact most witch hazel comes from CT, I have yet to see a bottle under $3.
If prices were like that around here, I'd stop trying to lather up the horses

The other question is how's the quality. I know the store brand stuff is way watered down.

I don't notice a difference between Dickenson's and Meijer generic, well, besides the price (about $6 vs $1)

The bottle I have in my hand from Dollar General a 16 oz. bottle of Witch Hazel that states on the back lable
Active Ingredient----Witch Hazel 86%
Inactive Ingredient--Alcohol 14%
By Volume

My Cost $1.60

Doesn't sound watered down to me.

BTW I also add 2 teaspoons of powdered Alum from the spice section of our grocery to the pint of Witch Hazel.

Nothing wrong with that, many many items and meds are the same as what's available for human uses.

Also, remember shaving brushes are made from animal hair, some even from horses.

Finally, somebody taking their witch hazel "splash" seriously.

Was the "equine" witch hazel diluted with alcohol? It would also interesting to find what constitutes witch hazel. The Dickenson brand is smoother than the generic.

My witch hazel has aloe and doesn't have alcohol. Much pricier. Anyone seen bulk cheap witch hazel that is alcohol free?
