Aftershave shock
I ran out of aftershave last week, and the only place to
buy just about anything here on this little island is at the
Chinese shop. So, off I went.
All they had on offer was something called "Men's
Choice Aqua Blue". From the shape of the bottle,
it looked like a Mennon knock-off. But, that's all they
had, so I bought it. (206ml, about USD$2)
After my next shave, I splashed some on, and jeez oh
dear! It burned like hell! What's in this stuff?!
The label is in Chinese, Indonesian, Spanish, and
(fortunately) English. Here's the ingredient list:
"Water, alcohol SD 40, propylene glycol, FD&C color
#1, fragrance"
I'm OK with the water and the color, but it must be
about 90% denatured alcohol (so no one will drink it,
I presume), but isn't propylene glycol the stuff they
use to de-ice airplane wings?
And, as far as I'm concerned, the fragrance should be
named "Gawdawful #1". Or maybe "Eau de Pimp".
I don't think that this one will appear on gssixgun's
Bay Rum Parade!"If you come up to it, and you just can't do it, then that's jolly well where you are."
