    Just wondering if keeping my aftershave splashes in a stainless steel container would be bad. would the alcohol or oils react with the stainless after a time. I know glass is used all the time and works great but i was just looking for a different option.

    maybe Joanna will chime in for me as one who makes aftershaves.

    That's a good question. I could put my flasks to better use (read "other than collecting dust") this way.

    I don't know. :)
    I've never looked at packaging any of my products in stainless steel.

    Im just wondering if the metal would have an effect on anything. I think it would be a cool way to dispense my AS. I know they put sprays in aluminum bottles...i would guess they should do fine in stainless.

    Acidic liquids will be affected by the stainless steel. I'm not sure of the acid levels in AS?? Also the cap needs to be air tight or the alcohol will evaporate.

    Just don't forget that you filled it with aftershave and not hooch... But then again, if you're really lit I don't think you'll care. :p

    Saw how many posts were here and figured it had already been answered. Yes, you can store aftershaves in flasks. You can even buy Bay Rum prepackaged in a flask. Turtle Bay's Bay Rum comes in flasks. I forgot some Scotch in a flask for about three years one time. It was still very drinkable, with no flavor or scent change at all.[​IMG]

    Thats what i was going for. A bay rum aftershave in a flask just seems right. That seals the deal i am buying the flasks. Very cheap from that site i listed and they give money back if not satisfied and they test for leaks...so i should be good to go.

    Cool idea. I think I'll do this at some point. I need to graduate school, make some money, and move out of my parents so I have my own bathroom to fill up with tons of shaving stuff! :signs136:

    Krampert's Finest also sells their Bay Rum After Shave in flasks, from their website:

    "It's a brushed Stainless Steel genuine hip flask.

    It's the perfect container for your Krampert's Finest Bay Rum. "

    This is a really good idea and would save me from the disaster I face every time my bags get thrown around from deployment or field problems and spilling out my a/s.

    What about the disaster you would face if it turned up during inspection? "Sir, that's only my aftershave."

    ..."Is that so?"

    I just took a look at those flasks. They would also be good for pre-shave oils. as they are lightfast. Given that they are also stylish, they would be great for giving as gifts. (Think "stocking stuffers" for next year.)

    Is there a pour restrictor available for the hip flasks? In my opinion, that would be a necessity.
