Tips & variations
Once you have made your aftershave, here are a few ways to get a great result and make it your own.
- Melt butters and waxes gently over low heat so they keep their goodness.
- Label every batch with the date so you know how fresh it is.
- Store in a cool, dry spot and use clean, dry hands or a spatula to keep it fresh.
Make it your own: change the fragrance or essential oil, or tweak the colour to suit the season.
