    Aura Cacia 100% Essential Oils offers a Bay Oil made from Pimenta Racemosa. After researching equivalent amounts,
    15 drops should equal 4 leaves. (Now where did I put my pipette, lol) The local natural/health food stores lack web
    sites, so I'll have to make a tour to check on availability. Failing that, I'll order it online.

    Also, researching to see if glycerin would increase the sustain of the fragrance. I might have done something wrong,
    after 2 hours, the scent is gone.

    I found some at Amazon at a reasonable price. They had many different brands and under one the question was asked if Castor Oil would increase the 'staying power' of the scents and the answer was yes.

    There were many questions of how much to use and the common theme seemed to be to start with only one or two drops as it's quite potent. One answer said he used it make aftershave and he used two drops per Quart.

    I hope this is of some help

    Today I continue to work on some of my DE's
    When cleaning up this Gillette I removed all the paint from the bottom, so decided to redo it with some enamel from the hobby store

    As I was holding this, a certain point in the movie Silence of the Lambs came to mind, about half way into this 30 second video below captures perfectly what any future razors, or razors that I want to clean up may be thinking as I hold this...can razors scream?



    Also, I heard Sharptonn's voice in my head, "Andrew, just put the darn dremel down and walk away...."

    My tour of the local shops was not a failure. I successfully learned where I cannot purchase bay oil, har!
    I've ordered some bay oil from amazon and hey, free shipping...bonus! It won't be here until just after Christmas.
    On my tour, I stopped by Hobby Lobby and found some nice medicine bottle-like containers. Got one for my
    Cinnamon Splash.

    I'm confident enough that I'll be able to make and use Benz's mother's recipe that I ordered these so that I can share. I like that they have the 'dribbler' in the neck.

    I picked this up from FleaBay for just a few dollars to see how it works. It will need a new cork and there's some kind of deposits on the inside so I've filled it with white vinegar for a couple of days or so.
