Use Bay Rum tree leaves (Pimenta racemosa) found at health food stores. Dark rum as suggested works well. Witch hazel can replace the vodka.

I'm glad you're going to try the recipe. Actually, I use either light or dark rum. I think the dark rum gives the after shave more body, though. Please let me know what you think about the recipe after you try it. Hi, Rod. I’m glad you’re going to try the recipe. Actually, I use either light or dark rum.

Are the bay leaves you use the kind I can purchase at a grocery store? I've read that they grow only at the coast. Is there something else I can substitute that's available in Colorado in the winter? Any help would be appreciated. Becky Hi, I’m interested in making after shave for my husband. Are the bay leaves you use the kind I can purchase at a grocery store?
