Men and Women are both susceptible to razor burn, and the healing properties of Witch Hazel can help ease the pain from razor burn, if not prevent it altogether. Not only does it stop the itchy bumps that derive from irritated hair follicles, but it also reduces chances of developing infections or other irritations of the skin. Simply apply Witch Hazel before you apply any amount of shaving cream/gel, and proceed with your normal shaving routine.
