I found this recipe on TipNut, the ingredients aren’t that much different than what I use in my homemade toner, so I’m pretty confident about this recipe. I’ll report back and let you know how Sexy likes it.

      What’s the purpose of aftershave?

      @Sisterboyd Men use after shave as an anticeptic to clean their skin of any cuts while shaving. Oils are included in after shave in order to keep the skin moisturized. HTH
