    Default Booze as emergency aftershave

    Hallo gentlemen,
    Yesterday I found myself without any aftershave splash. It's too hot here by now and I was in need of something cool and refreshing after morning shave, so I pick a dab of Tanqueray from the fridge and gave it a try.
    Dudes, it worked wonderfully, and I love how it smells (besides being pricy).
    Suddenly, a question popped in my mind.
    Had any of you tried any booze as aftershave? How did it performed?
    Cheers,

    Most of the old aftershaves were 152 proof !
    That said where one use was not needed another was found!
    They just added spice so as to not smell like a real drunk!

    Thank you!
    My bad ... I meant 52% alcohol.. 110+ proof; That would burn with a flame! My home made is higher and closer to 70%+ or 140 +proof.

    Laphroiag Quarter Cask makes a lovely aftershave.

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.
