Aftershave Balm Recipe?

I have been considering different aftershave balms and started wondering about making something myself.

I thought something good for aftershave & good for my skin in general would be...
* Witch Hazel
* Glycerin
* Vitamin E
* Aloe
* Scent (maybe just pour in a bottle of Aqua Velva?)

I have 2 QUESTIONS...

(1) Does anyone know of ONE place where I could buy these products in their pure form?

(2) Would this be a good recipe? And has anyone else posted their own recipe's of aftershaves/balms they have made?

Thanks!

I found this recipe last night and it looks promising... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1Tg6ikd00A

The recipe calls for...
4 oz. Witch Hazel
2 oz. sparkling mineral water
1/2 oz vodka
1/2 oz Glycerin
10 drops of bergomot essential oil
10 drops of clove essential oil
10 drops of cinnamon essential oil

I think the only changes I would make would be to add a little bit of Vitamin E oil and perhaps I would play around with what essential oils I used - perhaps trying some lemon, or lavender, or vetiver.

Anyone try this recipe or one similar?

Thanks!
