Thanked: 1Costabo, I'm smiling just thinking about Hai Karate, Brut, Old Spice, and my "young and impressionable years". I'm with you, the pic alone is worth $30.00.

As most of my shaving years i never "got" aftershaves except for stinkiness, and therefore never used any; now I'm looking in to it. So funny seeing so many old classics. I'll get some Clubman next trip to the store.
I have been doing cold water, alum, rinse, witch hazel USP.
USP version is the "official" version with 14% alcohol, and i can hardly smell it.

Big Greg's After Shave
Gin or vodka - 1/2 cup
Witch Hazel - 1/2 cup
Alcohol - 1/2 cup
Veg Glycerin - 2 tablespoons
Alum - 2 teaspoons
oils
lime - 10 drops
sweet Birch - 10 drops
Heat the vodka or gin in the microwave 1-2 mins and put in 2 teaspoons of alum and stir until dissolved. Alum doesn't dissolve in cold water. Add all ingredients together and put in a dispenser of choice and you got after shave. You can choose what ever oils you like, Sweet Birch and Lime go well together.
Thanks,
Big Greg
