Thread: How Much?!

i'll use way more if i'm trying to load up on scent.. but pretty much i make sure i'm fully covering any area i shaved.. usually a couple shakes in the palm to get my face covered.. and then again to cover my neck..

It is one of the things in life that you just have to figure out yourself, by starting low and adding until you have enough.

You apply as much as you like as long as your not one of those guys who smell to high heaven.

yeah.. i'm one of those guys.. i figure when you exude masculinity as much as i do.. you gotta try and mask the scent a little bit.

Gentlemen:

The amount of aftershave applied is about as personal as any other aspect of traditional shaving: apply as little or as much as you want. Also, the amount for me depends on which aftershave. Those with lime notes will probably require a little more that, say, Spanish Leather. If I were to follow a general rule, it would be a one-half teaspoon serving.

Gee Obie, you phrase that like we were gonna drink the stuff.

Hmm... you just gave me an idea. I have this bottle of Bay Rum from Jamaica and it says on the bottle it's made from only two ingredients, Bay Oil Extract and Sugar Cane Alcohol.

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.

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.
