I've been reading moisturizer and shave balm labels, and nothing I see on them justifies their prices.

I'm thinking about using almond oil as a base for a post-shave moisturizer/balm, and adding a bit of menthol (if I can find it) and eucalyptus oils for (a) cooling and (b) smell.

Has anyone tried homebrew shave balm? Any recipes would be appreciated.

Thanks --

PS -- my "standard of comparison" is H2O "Body Butter". If I could get close to that, I'd be very happy.
