Easy Homemade aftershave Recipe

I have been making homemade aftershave for Mike for the last 17 years. It’s so simple!

Here’s our favorite recipe. I just put it in an old aftershave bottle and then I’m done.

Homemade After Shave

1/4 cup rubbing alcohol
1/2 cup water
1 tsp. cologne, give or take*

Mix rubbing alcohol and water. Add favorite cologne. I just put several squirts in the mixture until it looks like about a teaspoon or two.

*Or add one or two little cotton cologne samples (like Avon samples).



I use and old aftershave bottle like this.

With this kind the lids just pop off. The first time you might have to use a pair of plies but after that it’s loose enough you can just pop it off with your hands.Do It Yourself Aftershave Recipe

Spray about 20 squirts in the bottle until there is about 1-2 teaspoons of your favorite cologne.

Then add the water and alcohol. I just pour about 1/3 bottle of alcohol and then fill to the top with water. Pop the lid back on and you have aftershave for about 20 cents!!!

By the way. I think we’ve been using this same bottle for 6-8 years now.

    I would probably substitute the water in this recipe with witch hazel. Witch hazel is a wonderful, inexpensive astringent. We use it all the time for our face, or on scrapes and bug bites, on sunburns or after we shave our legs. (Note: a soaked cotton ball/pad held in place for a minute or so also helps soothe and shrink hemorrhoids)
