Always eat grapes downward - that is eat the best grapes first; in this way there will be none better left on the bunch, and each grape will seem good down to the last. If you eat the other way, you will not have a good grape in the lot. |

This is a recipe for Lemon Aftershave from the recipe cookbook of Recipes-to-go (Fruit)
"Americans, more than any other culture on earth, are cookbook cooks; we learn to make our meals not from any oral tradition, but from a text. The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’." |
| John Thorne, American food writer |

Nothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking if God had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity. |

“Another article of cuisine that offends the bowels of unused Britons is garlic. Not uncommonly in southern climes an egg with a shell on is the only procurable animal food without garlic in it. Flatulence and looseness are the frequent results.” |
| Dr. T. K. Chambers, A Manuel of Diet In Health and Disease (1875) |
The tangy tingling sensation it causes after being splashed on is one
way to describe an aftershave. Most aftershaves act as astringents;
they help firm skin tone and close skin pores when applied
immediately after shaving. Many aftershaves contain alcohol, which
possesses antibacterial abilities, helping to prevent infections of
knicks or shaving cuts. It also should contain glycerine and/or other
ingredients known to be beneficial to skin care. Glycerine will help
counter the drying effects on the skin, and the chafing and
irritation that can develop with dry skin.
*Most drug stores contain all of the above tinctures and oils. Herb
and health food shops carry the essential oils.
DaisyLin's comments: Here are some aftershave recipes that I have
used. My ex liked the lime one best. They are really good. I still
make it for him once in a while. And you can get neat bottles at a
healthfood or herb store, or some specialty stores...and the
essential oils can be found at a health food/herb store, and the
tinctures etc can be found at some pharmacies, I suggest calling
around. I found it at three old type pharmacies. Like Rexall.
