Don't Do This

[MEKer]

Shaved this morning. Dang! No aftershave. Hmm, mouthwash=alcohol. That'll work.


No, it does not work.
No burn letting me know those micro-nicks are getting dosed.
Just a somewhat sticky feeling on my face all day, as tho I washed with sugar water.

Psshaw!

Wow...it would have never even dawned on me to try that. But, now I know....and knowing is half the battle

That's like brushing your teeth with preparation H...

Thanks for the review

Boy, I'll bet you were minty fresh!

Never ever use gasoline as starter fluid for a charcoal grill. Not even a few drops. Go to the store and buy starter fluid.

Oy. Lesson learned the hard way.

That might not work but I actually shave using after shave gel, not shaving cream.

I'll bite. Why not? That genuinely sounds like a decent idea and something that I might come across in my lifetime.

*Starter fluid* is basically ether. I think *charcoal lighter fluid* is what you want

I never used after shave. Short alcohols will suck the water out of a persons face.

I use shampoo. Cheap effective and feels good.

Your grill turns into a ten foot tall pillar of white-hot flame that can't be put out.

Well, it *starts* the charcoal burning. You know what I'm talking about. Naphtha.

I must admit to having to taking the less manly route of using an Aftershave "moisturising balm".

Although I have never tried it,
I would say that you probably shouldn't try to use paint thinner for a after shave substitute either.

Bleach might work though........ give it a try tomorrow morning and report back to us.

Bleach-----no thanks, but I did use JP4 to clean myself once-----never again.

1969--place called Phouc Vinh in III Corp, S. Vietnam. I'd choppered up to pick up a new guy for the unit. Had to spend the night. Probably 10PM. took a "shower" to cool off, had on a pair of flip-flops and a towel. After showering, trudging along the edge of the freshly re-surfaced tarmac/flight line towards the flight shack after the shower. Mortars started coming in all over the flight line--trying to score some hits on our choppers in the revetments. I instinctively hit the ground---or rather freshly tarred tarmac--totally jumped outta my flip-flops and towel (never recovered). After about 10 minutes of incoming it ended. I shakily peeled myself up, buck naked, totally covered with tar. Went to the flight shack, scared my buddy there. All we had available was JP4 (a grade of jet fuel that choppers use) and I had to use it to get all the tar off my body. Took about an hour and I still ended up looking like a piece of mahogany.. All night jazzholes were threatening me with their lighters, flicking then on and off, which, of course, infuriated me as I'd gone up like a roman candle.

So, using mouthwash as aftershave ain't so bad after I guess.

Scotch doesn't work so well either.

That reminds me. Don't fill up an empty whiskey bottle with sweet tea and pretend to stagger in to work while holding it and taking a gulp every few moments unless your boss is the kind that likes jokes.
