   When my grandfathers and  great-grandfathers would visit the local barber shop (the one with the candy cane-striped pole out front), bay rum was the mens aftershave the barber would slap on their faces.  Today, it is still one of the most commonly used aftershaves. There are many versions of this old-fashioned skin tonic, but I like this recipe because it is so easy and has the same spicy, citrus scent I remember both of my grandfathers using.

What you need:

• ½ cup vodka or with hazel
• 2 tablespoons rum (Jamaican rum is preferred.)
• 2 dried bay leaves
• ¼ teaspoon whole allspice (found in the spice section at the grocery store)
• 1 cinnamon stick
• Zest from one small orange (orange part only)

How to make: Mix together all ingredients. Pour into a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid. Place the jar in a dark, cool place for 2 weeks. At the end of 2 weeks, strain off the liquid and pour into a clean container. Discard any zest and other remaining solids. Splash on the face after shaving. Makes 4 ounces


   The purpose of a good shaving cream is the help “set up” the beard, to facilitate razor glide, and to help the skin hold in the warm water that has been applied prior to smoothing on the shaving cream. This is a great recipe you’ll enjoys using because it is a mild and unscented cream.

What you need:

• ¼ cup stearic acid powder
• 1 cup hot water
• 1 teaspoon borax
• 2 table grated soap
