Does anyone have an idea of where to get empty bottles to put aftershave into? I went by a number of flea markets and antique shops today. Nothing useful. Any idea what kind of store might carry empty bottles?

I bought some new 5? ounce hot sauce bottles from the 'zon about 3 or 4 years ago that work great.

Empty, or did you have to eat the sauce before use?
Oops! Should have been more clear! They were empty, designed for people to store their "home made" stuff inside...

I have often seen embossed vintage Pinaud and Yardley empty bottles on the bay for little money. Obviously not ideal if you want a set of matching bottles.
You could try eBay, I have seen some empty and partly empty bottles on there before.
Aren’t they’re any aftershaves you’d like to try in glass bottles ?
Try some of these, Ogallala Bay Rum, Poraso, Speick, English leather, etc. and reuse the bottle.
Amazon sells a variety of smaller (eg. 3-5oz) bottles with caps, but typically in cases of 12 (about $20) or more.

It takes forever to empty a bottle. The only glass ones I have are a Proraso that is not very old and a Speick that I just bought.

Every time I've searched ebay, the results have been fancy vintage bottles of various shapes for too much money.
look for 'hot sauce glass bottles'!
I make my own empty bottles 
It does take a while to empty them but I have a pretty good collection now and Pinaud aftershaves are the only ones I've found that really need to be taken out of their plastic bottles.

It's for Bootlegger aftershaves. I'm not making that much.
Thanks. I'll keep looking.
Sounds cool. Clubman in glass. Nice.
You were perfectly clear. You said "new."
A thrift store might have some. I bought mine on eBay back in the day. I mostly use empty Tabasco bottles that I refill. After 4-5 bottles, I stop saving them (obviously I consume more Tabasco bottles than I require Aftershave bottles).
I use the small 57ml bottle (clean it well, the cap too). The dripper is made of glass, unlike the bigger version. I use a food-grade syringe to fill the bottle.

I have a bottle of Avatar aftershave I received as a gift when I was young. Never liked it. Overpowering. I think I’ll dump this and use the bottle.
