Update:
I added viscous lidocaine, (the kind used for pre-stitches and pre-anesthetic injection numbing,) and found that the jelly had nearly solidified inside the bottle. Ah well.... back to scratch.
I started new.
This time, I used Gosling's dark rum, witch hazel, my favorite cologne, a few drops of EVOO and exactly TWO drops of rosemary essential oil, (the kind that people use for aroma therapy,). About a 1:1:1 ratio on the rum, witch hazel and cologne.
The result is an after shave that starts off smelling like rum and rosemary, which are great together, and then leaves my face soft and smelling like my favorite cologne. My GF loved it. My brothers liked the smell, too.
I think if I add some liquid styptic, it'll be all I want out of an AS.
Not too bad!
