I found this stuff at a local organic food store - they are pretty hardcore there and all they had was the 100% pure stuff in its natural state, it's literally just a tub of this thick and hard wax. I just tried rubbing some into my face, and then worked the excess into my hands and elbows and it is still a little bit tacky (much like using raw shea butter) but I can feel the softness already as it is absorbing. Thanks for the tip!

This is fun playing around with different stuff though. I almost want to concoct my own aftershave recipe by seeing if this stuff is alcohol soluble and adding it to some bay rum. It's amazing how well simple, natural products work.

I will have to be careful now, though, as I am dangerously close to using more "beauty products" than my girlfriend.

Edit - on a side note, I wonder if a small amount would work as a strop conditioner?
