Thread: Homemade pre shave save tons of cash

This pre-shave oil recipe has gotten around SRP and other forums.

I used to make my own oil using this recipe, but I stopped using pre-shave oils because they didn't really help my shaves. My first pre-shave oil was an AOS Sandlewood, which used the same ingredients.

But, you're right, making your own oil saves you a lot of cash.

It's fun to make your own stuff, and by doing so you know exactly what is in there. I do use preshave oils sometimes, mostly in the winter when the air gets rather dry, but I only use a few drops of it. I did make my own, but any savings were not noticeable for me - I made a 2 oz bottle and it is still near half full, over a year later
Aftershave splashes, on the other hand

I have so much of this stuff now. I used it yesterday was good but I think I like my prosaro preshave better is it really just noxema?

Sounds like you have enough to shave with and put on salads for the next 4 years. Doesn't your mother in law sell soap or something? Maybe she could help you sell it. I would look at the 99 cent store for bottles if your going into mass production. I don't use the stuff and maybe missing something. What I don't know doesn't bother me much :<0)

Just for the record, most olive oils in the market today have been discovered to not be pure. I may not be spot on here, but I believe the best test is to put it in the fridge. If it solidifies, its olive oil, if it stays liquid, its cut with other oils.

Believe ur right my friend.. If I could find somebody that makes homemade olive oil would be great ..

I know people who make home made olive oil. Do you want some?

A coworker told me this last year. I thought about it and found it reasonable, considering the wide range in EVOO prices here in the US.

I also read some online recipes from soap makers who use oilive oil and found that some recommend using the cheapest oil because of it's "impurities."

Nice one mate , I am going to give it go.
