So I haven't worn much Cologne through out the years. But I've been using some Solid cologne lately and liking it. It's not as perfumie. In stead of spraying/splashing on my face neck I spread on my palm and rub on my chest and a small amount on my neck.
I've been actually thinking of makeing my own. In looking for the ingredients for a Filson/Otterwax altenitive which is quite easy to make (Beeswax,Lanolin,boiled Linseed oil), I've come across recipes for solid colognes and hair Pomades. So I've been toying with the idea of making some with some Essential Oils added (a matching Cologne and Pomade). Any thoughts, suggestions on scents, ingredients ?

I am a fan of anything that is bay rum scented, personally. There are a number of DIY recipes listed or linked to at the Badger and Blade forum (at least there were the last time I looked). That would probably be a good place to start. Failing in that, I have a friend who makes her own soaps/shaving accessories (Pagrana Naturals) that might be able to work with you to come up with something. I have been helping her out with her aftershave balm and various shave soaps over the last two years (I am a badger hair brush and old school soap kind of guy myself).

If you're going to shave, you might as well be doing it the right way.
