After Shave Basic
Recipe

Mabel White
Believe it or not most
aftershaves are made with Vodka or Rum (for the bay rum smell). Various herbs and spices are soaked
in the alcohol for a few weeks and then strained from the liquid. Idea’s for spices include: Cloves, rosemary, sage, orange peels, vanilla, and lavender
or ginger if you like. Store
in a dark glass jar and shake every few days for two weeks. My guy
likes the smell of Givenchy "Pi" and that has soft notes of woods
and vanilla
in it.
So I soak a vanilla bean in Vodka and then add a few drops
of sandalwood essential oil.
