Anyone know where alcohol can be sources for use as a solvent

As a trained research chemist, I can honestly say I've never heard the
term SD-Alcohol. What is it?


I think I have solved this myself using google.

The Braun Shaver has a charge and clean cartridge, which cleans the shaver
whilst on the stand.

Due to the design the solution is used up through evaporation rather than
use through cleaning (i.e when you clean it circulates through the shaver
head and back to the container but evaporates all the time). No doubt this
is to ensure further sales of replacement cartridges which are about £5.00
each

The cartridge says that is contains SD-Alcohol 40-B. Apparently according to
goodle is 40% Alcohol/Ethanol. Specially Denatured means it is made
unpalatable to drink.

According to Google the DIY solution is

100ml Metholated Spirits (which is supposedly 96% ethanol)
Few drops of 100% Lemon Essential Oil
Top up with water.
