Tonight I made my own aftershave.
3/4 cup reverse osmosis water
1/4 cup witch hazel
1/2 tsp vitamin e oil
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp lime essential oil
The smell of this is just what I like. I wanted the smell of limes, not lime smelling musk but just plain old good smelling limes. It feels great on your skin and leaves it smooth and smelling good.
I love my homemade aftershave. I use about 1/4 aloë vera some eo's and vodka to make mine. It's the best smelling (and feeling) aftershave I've ever had. Olive oil sounds interesting though....why the olive oil?
I would like the aftershave shaken, not stirred, please :roflmaoQuote:

Just means less mixing and searching ingredients.
Sounds good... I make my own too. I use:
82% Witch Hazel
15% Masters Bay Rum with a few Cloves and a Cinnamon Stick for extra spice
3% Pure Vegetable Glycerine
Really soothing and a nice Bay Rum that doesn't mess with my regular colognes. Not too strong and the glycerine is great on the skin.
