I think I'm getting thirsty.

My dear thebigspendur:

I thought I would be visual and describe the general amount of aftershave I use in cooking measurements, since I was making porridge for breakfast. I like the term porridge; it has something Charles Dickensian about it. (By the way, my recipe consists of: organic steel cut oats, ground flax seed, freshly ground peanut butter, blueberries, cinnamon, ginger and Sun Crystals sweetner.)

As for your hooch concocted with Bay Rum aftershave, it sounds good enough to drink. We wear it, so why not drink it, what?

Regards,

Obie

I know. Sometimes this stuff is so good you just want to drink it.

I agree with this, as these 2 spashes are the main ones that I use. Ogallala's bottle even specifies to ''apply generously'', which I do because the scent doesn't linger very long.

They say that cause they want you to use it up fast-har har.

I would tend to agree with those who say that the amount of aftershave applied is a personal matter. I apply less aftershave than cologne, simply because cologne usually has a stronger, longer lasting fragrance.

My rule of thumb with aftershaves is to apply enough--usually two small splashes in the cupped palm of my hand to my face and neck.

Gentlemen,

I'm all for experimenting, but before this one is put to execution, bear in mind that quote from Wikipedia:

Pimenta racemosa

"It is not related, botanically, to the Bay Leaf used in cooking. It is used to produce a fragrant cologne called Bay rum; although Bay Rum is essentially rum, the plant itself is toxic and renders the product undrinkable."

Drink responsibly.
