ferroburak,
I have used jojoba and olive oil in various proportions to enrich lather, and also for use in the 'oil pass' when using safety razors.
jojoba/olive/castor and other oils seem to perform very similarly, so take your pick and give it a whirl
Mr Ham ('LeisureGuy') has given a formula in his book (Leisureguy's Guide to Gourmet Shaving: Shaving Made Enjoyable); this has the benefit of you being able to eat the remaining stock oils
2 parts Almond oil
2 parts Avocado oil
2 parts Olive oil
1 part Grapeseed oil
1 part Macadamia nut oil
1-2 drops essential oil(s) (for fragrance)—or however much you want
Have fun !
Best regards
Russ
