Decanting question: Where to source glass bottles with glass flow restrictors

[bvance554]

I find that any beer or pint bourbon bottle works very well. I have a ready supply. I use my thumb as a restrictor.

I save all my glass aftershave bottles. When I buy an aftershave that comes in a plastic bottle like Clubman I just poor it into an old cleaned Fine or Stirling A/S bottle. I have plenty of them under the sink!

I use the 5 oz Tapatio hot sauce bottles. I go through about one bottle of sauce a week, after reading this suggestion I started saving them. I should have a nice collection in no time.

i know wet shave products uses an amber bottle with a plastic flow restrictor, here is what i found online SKS Bottle & Packaging, Glass Bottles, Clear Glass Bottles, Glass Bottles, Clear Glass Woozy Bottles w/ White Ribbed Lined Caps & Orifice Reducers

I am looking for bottles that are 6, 8, or 12oz. made of glass with flow restrictors. I would prefer the flow restrictor be glass and built in rather than a plastic insert........ Bottles like the 400ml glass barbershop bottles that many of the Italian aftershaves, like Floid, come in would be ideal. Does anyone know of a place where I can find similar bottles, empty, for a reasonable cost? They don't have to have labels, or be vintage.
Thanks.

Doug I have searched and searched for the same thing. I have had no luck!! We know these bottles exist because as you and others have stated some modern companies use them.

Here's what I use. You can see some pics in my shave journal. I posted on Saturday

Amazon.com: Hot Sauce Bottles with Black Caps & Shrink Bands, 5 Oz - Case of 12: Kitchen & Dining

The restrictor is plastic. But they are easier to fill

These are what I use, too. Perfect for the job, and cheap, too.

I can understand the cost effectiveness of the hot sauce bottles. But to me, nothing beats a vintage bottle for style. I don't have a very large AS collection, so the cost to me isn't that high. Here are the few that I have...
(L to R...Lucky Tiger Face Tonic, Tabac in Pinaud Hair Tonic Bottle, Clubman in Vegetal Bottle, Family Dollar Spice in Small Pinaud bottle)

Thread resurrect!
@DukeNDuke, will the green cap fit & screw onto the smaller Pinaud bottle? I have that same smaller bottle but can't find a cap that fits. The green cap on the modern plastic Clubman Aftershave bottles is too big. Was wondering if that one in your pic would fit? Here's a pic of my (capless bottle) Pinaud bottle I just cleaned out:

 

[DukeNDuke]

Yes, the green cap from the vintage 12oz bottle also fits the vintage 6oz bottle. I didn't have a cap either, so I used the cap from a tabasco bottle (red one pictured) which fit perfectly.

 

[DukeNDuke]

These two caps are interchangeable

I use empty Royall bottles (spice, lime or musk). They can be found in 4 oz and 8 oz sizes. I like the pewter crown caps. Prices vary a lot, but if you are patient you can find nicely priced empty bottles on ebay

Maggard's sells empty aftershave bottles. They are from their sample program.
