Thread: Lime Aftershaves

Lime is a favorite for me.

I have pre-shave, shave; and, now I will try some of the aftershaves suggested to finish up with.

Great list of products!

I've only used the Taylor's No. 74 and
am very happy with the scent. My wife
even kind of likes it!

I have the No74 A/S, which I like. How much do you dilute the cologne to come up with A/S strength? I might try that next time.

Ray, I try to do 50/50 mixture. I'll count the drops of cologne I'll let drip in my hand then add just about the same of water or a little less. This is entirely preference though and some days I just use full strength cologne. You can experiment for yourself.

Thanks, I will try that next time.

I use a $2.00 bottle of witch hazel water with 14% alcohol purchased at the local drug store to which I add about 15 drops of glycerine and 5-10 drops of lime pure essential oil. It doesn't disappear right away, but doesn't last all day either.

I just bought a bottle of the Castle Forbes lime a/s balm.
Man,this stuff is so limey it makes your mouth water!
It is a tad bit expensive but it takes very little each use.
