I'm a splasher as well. I just put a small puddle in the cup of one hand, rub it on both palms and give my face and neck a good rub down. It's really the same as any other aftershave in terms of use. It's just that unlike other bases for aftershave products it'll give you astringent properties, which tighten but witch hazel it's self is also somewhat soothing despite the tightening effect. Thayer's which is a popular brand of AS witch hazel also has aloe in a lot of formulas which helps moisturize the skin. So it will tighten up the skin, sooth redness from a tough shave with out dehydrating the skin. I tend to use it more this time of year, it was 7 degrees on my way out the door this morning and an alcohol based AS can dry out the skin which the single digit temps is doing all on it's own just fine.
