Check out Muhle’s aftershaves. They are made by the same manufacturer that makes Speick and has the same ingredient list of Speick Active aftershave (not the original), except for scent and without the Speick plant extract. Available in 3 scentsI'd like to try making an aftershave that has most of the properties Speick A/S has, but with a different scent. Maybe that will be a little hobby project at some point.

It has around 55% alcohol. That's not too far off some other aftershaves, although some indeed go up to 80%.Its probably the reduced amount of alcohol by comparison to supermarket aftershaves. Its something I've noticed with the pricier (but substantially better) shave specific AS. There is more to the formulation with ingredients like glycerin, witch hazel, aloe juice and extracts as opposed to parfum with just enough alcohol to work as an antiseptic and keep everything stable. Like seriously, normal AS is mostly just alcohol, water and cheap fragrance. There is also (often) little to no chemical voodoo to stop things from going off or becoming 'unmixed'.
