Tonight's shave, delivered up yet another somewhat unwlecome insight ... & made me realise I have something of a quandry. I'll post it in Shaving Help, most likely.

Was re-watching some of Mantic's (Hi Mark!) videos last night, and saw one where he finished his shave, performed a warm water rinse, applied witch hazel, and then did a cold water rinse, so I thought I'd give it a go.

Hi Ian ! That's amazing! Did the dialogue indicate that he knew exactly what he was doing, or do you think he made a genuine mistake, and forgot he had already applied the W/Hazel ?? I can't check because I don't have sound at the mo' :roll:

Hi Urban! I can see some of the members wanting to order some of the things you make yourself before too long! Do you reckon you would be able to "gear up" sufficiently in order to meet their needs ?

... um, to be totally honest: no!
Some work better than others, and some work pretty durned well, if I say so myself (and I think I can recognise my voice doing the saying).
For most of the stuff, I don't even have standardised recipes as much as a list of ingredients in a general order of "from the most, to the least". Also some of it is so simple, pretty much anyone could make some of it. The AlumWater Spritz, in very broad terms, is bottled water supersaturated with potassium alum and then decanted into a spritzer bottle after the alum has pretty much totally settled/re-crystalised in the bottom. In Theory, I think it should mean there would be no further crystalisation which could block the spray tube.
Some of the shave oils I tried to be to complicated and they smell 'indistinct', though not 'of de stink'.
But thanks for asking, and if anyone does want to know what is used and why (if I can remember, this far along), feel free to post/message etc. I'm willing to discuss this sort of stuff too ... well, I think I am anyway.
