Aftershave for zippos? As a fuel?

Question

I have a zippo, the jesus one, and i was wondering if after shave would work on it.

Answer 1

Actually, it will work quite well, if the alcohol content is right. I have done it! I used Aramis after shave. It was a christmas gift, and I didn't care for the scent, so one day when I was out of fluid, i tried it in my Zippo. It worked great, although it didn't seem to last as long as regular naptha lighter fluid. And the smell wasn't bad either, although the cigarettes tasted pretty nasty for the first couple of puffs. LOL

Answer 2

chances are no, I've tried this before and it failed terribly, the burning aftershave smelled worse then zippo fluid, really bad, so bad that I had to change the cotton and the wick so it would make any sense.

try to light a smoke with the smell of burning aftershave going into your lungs, worse then the cig.

try burning some aftershave by itself in a bowl or something and you'll agree, yuck, nearly hurled.

Answer 3

Extremely doubtful. Aftershave has way too much water in it. Why don't you just buy a can of lighter fluid? It can't be all that hard to find nor all that expensive. If you put aftershave in your lighter, you could well ruin it.

Answer 4

Not really. The alcohol content is to low.

Answer 5

It will work but the scent makes cigarettes taste like crap.

Answer 6

Depends on the alcohol content of the cologne.
