Not sure whether to post this here, as it is of a somewhat commercial nature, but a few people have inquired about my after shave balm experiments. I now have a recipe (dubbed Henk's #6, not because the soap/cream is #5, but because this really was the sixth formula I made and tried out myself, and the first that I am truly happy with).
I should mention that the recipe is based on the Beiersdorf Nivea ASB recipe (which incidentally can be found in some patents, if you look very carefully), so if you don't like the consistency/activity of Nivea ASB, you won't like this either.
I cannot for the life of me get around what the Nivea ASB scent is, so I won't be able to do a true knock-off (although I COULD do one with the classic Nivea cream (in the blue tin) scent...). Scents are optional; my two preferences right now are an Old Spice/Leather blend, and the Bay rum/patchouli/bergamot blend in my current shaving cream batch.
