In all seriousness @SpeedyPC recipe is fan-bloody-tastic and your skin will thank you for it!
If you guys don't believe me. @Razor Burn is the man to prove it, he speaks the whole truth about my aftershave recipe, and he's bloody happier.
Also, I can't remember who enjoy my aftershave recipe, I've totally lost track.
I believe @MadFlava81 was using it regularly as his feedback had me convinced to give it a try and in all honesty compared to standard witch hazel which feels watery, the added ingredients combine so well to leave the skin fresh yet hydrated! I'm going to mix up a new batch as ran out and plain witch hazel frankly feels meh...
...so long as you don't mind the yow!fukkityfuk factor...
I’ve mixed up a batch Speedy. What glycerin are you using. You say plant based, but all I’ve been able to acquire from local IGA is the stock standard glycerine in 100ml bottle.
Glycerine (more correctly, glycerol) is just a simple 3-carbon polyol that forms the backbone of fats (triglycerides). They're more cheaply extracted from vegetable oils, so probably 99.9% of all glycerol is. It's also a by-product of the soap manufacturing process. Don't worry about it, it's all the same thing.
Thanks @Gargravarr. Access to this friendly, free and well-informed advice is the great thing about P&C
I get my natural plant base glycerin directly from the health food store, sometimes the chemist sells them too.
That's the brand I buy from the health food store.
