Thread: Homemade Pre Shave Oil?

Pre shave oils I have made with olive oil can clog your shaving brush.. And as Nelson said can b a lather killer..

When i use an oil as dense as this that is my shave medium i dont use a brush i dont use a lather.
Just the Oil.

I love my preshave oil, and as a few have said I couldnt start a shave without it. I used AOS for a bit as I got it in a kit but then decided as my wife makes a lot of great all natural organic skin products that I could give it a shot and try a pre shave oil and save some money. In now hooked. If I don't use it as I was in a rush and forgot one day I had a horrible shave, burn itch and all. Maybe its just me being nuts or my skin but I swear by it. I usually use 3/5 castor 2/5 evil and the rest a mix of grapeseed oil,macadamia oil and pure vitamin e with some eo usually lemon as I'm a lemon freak. Want to try jojoba oil next. I put s bit on after a nice hot shower on dry skin and I let it sit for a few minutes while I feed the dogs. Lather shave and yippee fabulous every time.
