Thread: Using Whiskey as an aftershave?

As stated above: 1) Bay Rum is made with bay leaves and rum. So the idea is not that out there. 2) Don't use the good stuff, just something that smells nice. 3) Most of the recipes that I have seen call for strong alcohols (80+ proof). Whiskey should be fine.

Sheriff Taylor reports that Otis Campbell's descent into alcoholism began with a home made aftershave.
