I don't use too many roses as a small spray bottle lasts me a while. I just use 2 or 3 for it. It is yummy.

As for the vinegar rinse, I add some rosemary, lavender or use a herbal teabag. None of my family have been able to smell the vinegar.

Doctor gave some to my frail old pap too, the main ingredient is paraffin :angryfire:
Apparently straight coconut oil can be used for shaving, it's solid at room temperature and melts quickly with bodyheat into a thin oil.

Goodluck

I'd be interested in any alternative for Aqueous cream as I've spent my life trying everything and Aqueous cream is the only thing I can use
