Thread: Homemade Aftershave Tips

An alternative to Skin Food sounds excellent! I prefer the lime skin food to the rose, but I'd definitely be interested in other alternatives as well. The sandalwood, teas, and incense scents sound intriguing as well.

Hi Guys,
Gee, I'm flattered to hear from you all. I'll send samples out to anyone who asks, so that being said, I only have one skin food in rose left at this moment in time. I have 9 of the #2 batch of aftershave lotion scented lemon/lime and a few of the #1 batch of lotion, scented lemon/lime. I'll make up some more skin food, and maybe get it thinner this time. Any of these, a little wee bit goes a long way. A local family member/tester mentioned this to me today about the lotions. "Just a small dab and it feels great. More than that it feels greasy." If I get this a tad thinner too, it may take care of some of that. It's just finding the perfect balance. Someone mentioned "not clogging pores". None of the stuff I make in the way of lotions or soap uses any pore clogging oils. All are non-comedigenic. The skin food is made with the hydrosols, which I haven't rec'd the new ones yet, so you'll get what I have. lol The lavender and bay laural were out of stock, so I'll have to look elsewhere. There will be no scenting over the rose. I may be able to blend something more manly with it, have to check my files on that. The helichrysum should scent easily enough, so I'll do that with some lemon/lime or maybe Bay Rum eo. Or doesn't anyone like Bay Rum anymore? Anyway, I'll try to get to the new skin food tomorrow. I need a name for this product. Maybe before you try it. lol I'll contact each of you by then if you don't contact me first. My PayPal account can be reached at wolfesmith14@peoplepc.com which is also my email address. My website is www.soapwolf.com Mark found it on his own, which I don't know how that's done, I'm a babe in the woods when it comes to this computer stuff. Getting to be an old crone in real life though. lol Thanks for being so brave.

I may get the rose water skin food, depending on some negotiations relevant to where I'll be when the samples arrive in Toronto lol. I'll keep you posted.

Two key words in google found it for me. Either soap + wolfe or soap + Madjic pull up your home page as the first result. As for the bay rum, it's actually making quite the comeback in popularity so I think there would be a lot of takers on this scent.

I personally use Dominica Bay Rum. Not a big fan of the scent (don't hate it either), but it's a great aftershave. I hope they have it in French Guiana in case I have to go there in a couple of weeks.

I haven't used any Bay Rum aftershave, but it sounds like good stuff from what I hear. By the way, you have a PM Soapwolf.

Ok, I'm going to have to show my computer ignorance here. I assume that PM is private message. If this is correct, how do I get it? Or are these the ones that actually come into my email? Sigh.......I told you I was a babe in the woods with computers.

In the top right hand corner (scroll up to the top of the page) you should see a box saying something like "Good Evening, Soapwolf... etc". It will show you the last time you visited and how many Private Messages you have. Click on the words "Private Messages", and it will take you to your inbox.

Ok guys, I got another round of 'skin food' ready. This one is a tad on the thin side and wants to seperate some. Needs a little more emulsifier but you can shake it. From the reports I've rec'd so far, it looks like this is way I'll be going. I used the helichrysum hydrosol for this as it has very little of it's own scent so would lend itself to taking a fragrance. I have two 1/2 oz. bottles of the following scents: Bay Rum- this is an EO and really thinned it. No seperation though.One of these is for Jordon. I have a matching bath soap.
Spicy Orange-an FO- scent of oranges with cinn & clove Bath soap available
Commando- only one supplier sells this FO. I love this on a man. Very sexy. I was hesitant to try this scent as the name implied to me that it would smell of axle grease, dirt and sweat. Not the case. I have this in a matching bath soap.
Obsession for Men This is a "going out" scent
Rustic Trails I'm not sure if I can get this fo anymore. I have a little left from soap making, but the soap is gone. This is a fresh scent with a hint of musk
Lavender/Sandalwood This is my own blend used to make lavender more manly. It's real nice. Ask Mark
Dragon Blood I will have this in a matching bath soap
Egyptian Musk I had this in a soap but it didn't sell around here. It got donated to Katrina also. If enough interest is shown, it can be soap again.

These are what I made up for now. I also have Sport, Mayan Gold, a wonderful Blackberry Musk, Pearberry that are in soap. Well Blackberry Musk is currently out, but I'll be making more hopefully this week. I do have a Vanilla Musk though.
Shipping will depend on your location and I will try to ship out of the US
Have a great day!

Thank you. I wasn't ignoring this. It took me 2 days to even access the site.
