What is the difference between aftershave, cologne, edt etc. I know (i think) that cologne and edt are similar, but one is stronger / more concentrated. Thanks in advance

For me:
aftershave - a facefull
cologne - three drops
aftershave has 1-2% essential oils and has skin healing, toning properties in. cologne has 2-4% oils so is cheaper but doesnt last as long. edt has 4-8% oils so has better sillage and longevity. if you use edt after shaving the amount of oils will more likely make your skin blotchy
also you are definitely daft
I wasn't the one who was put down by a brolly collector.....Quote:

i think some a/s are less stingy than others though. ogallallalalalal burns the hell out of me. im currently using james bronnley, a clean, soapy very old fashioned scent.
Its not my fault, I never had a father figure in my life, but that I were young again, you could have adopted me, and taught me the ways of MAN. Alas I shall have to sit in my room and feel inadequate.Quote:

Sorry to hear that Bombay.
my name is Pete by the way. thats ok, i will set up a foster home to adopt men and teach shaving, aftershaves, fly-fishing, growing tomatoes in Newcastle and stirring a gin martini
James bond would not aprove you know that don't you Pete, he would make a good man teacher, well for most things anyway. I believe J.R Hartley wrote the seminal work on fly fishing :).Quote:

bond schmond, i will teach a sophisticated drink palette and do not condone promiscuous lathariasm. it is a home for gentle spirits, cats welcome.
So more a school for the modern man with classical values, rather than MAN SCHOOL GRRR.Quote:

May I please add that you need to investigate the wonders of a good vodka tangy. What's that? What the hell is a tangy? Thats my name for a vodka martini (olive), vodka giibson (onion) except the addition is a little green orb of pickled small green tomatoes called tomolives and they have a tangy taste. Mix, toast and enjoy!
From what I know of you, and if Pete's school is as I imagine it, you would fit right in razorfeld.
I kinda felt that you understood an 80 year old with a mental age of 17 and the sex drive of a 95 year old. Daft, dizzy but not dumb. Can't insult me on just about anything anymore, except maybe the value of cats (HA!).Quote:

It seems tomalives are not available in uk.
Is this a good recipe Tomolives – Pickling Green Tomatoes ?
I will make a batch tonight then get back to you in a week after a sampling or two in martinis. If my writing looks like this 'realllyu goodojw wilkl definterly drinj agaim' it means it was a good review
I'm yet to try a Gibson. Is it better than it sounds?
Looks good. Make sure you use tomatoes about the size of an olive on the medium or a little larger size. I'd send you a jar from the US but even here mailing costs are twice the cost of the item itself (glass jars). Not easily found in many stores either but I have a crackerjack daughter-in-law that finds things nobody else can. Awaiting your judgkempt (whoops shouldn't drink in the morning.)Quote:

here is how my first ever batch looks
You sir, are one fast worker. Or do you live in a time warp and knew what before now? Let them soak a goodly time. Should have almost an olive drab color to them. Bright green is still too raw (and un-tangy.)
Good work!
I don't know what whenever, I lose days when I am drinking but Ed lives in the future so I know when he posts in Tuesday club pour une it must be mondayQuote:

I have never had a problem with Ogallala-although I understand they have an industrial strength (name escapes me) that will burn.
Okay but do you have any rum cocktail recipes?Quote:

Ney lad, as jethro tull would say you are living in the past. It'll confuse the pants off you if I do a FTSCPU post after 8 am, won't it. :)Quote:
