Thread: Archaeologist's wet-shave kit?

That is very good to know considering how fond the insects are of landing on diggers in the early morning and at night. Is bug juice diluted Kool-Aid though or something else?

Interesting, I saw some Thayer's scented witch hazels at the market but read some rather uncomplimentary things about them online. Are there any good aftershaves that incorporate witch hazel? Of course, I could also try using witch hazel on its own.

G.I. bug juice is 80-100% DEET. There are milder commercial products, and DEET is an effective insect
repellant, but it sure doesn't smell like aftershave.

Thayers "Witch Hazel Aftershave with Aloe Vera" is only lightly scented and can be applied before an
aftershave splash, which will cover the lighter scent.

Ah, well I can probably find DEET-filled bug spray in Israel with very little difficulty, but isn't it horrifically toxic to the environment?

If I use a reasonable amount of both witch hazel and aftershave, will the witch hazel's bug repellent qualities still be as effective after I use an aftershave?
