Thanked: 118My first pre-shave oil homebrew
OK, I decided to take a shot a a homebrew pre-shave oil.
Starting small I mixed 1 tablespoon of Castor Oil, and 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (no essential oils / scents). Once I get the right oil combinations I experiment with adding essential oils for scent.
It worked well but the Olive Oil left something to be desired, so I added a cap full of Pinaud Clubman. It's better, but I can still smell the Olive Oil.
Has anyone tried Castor Oil and Grapeseed Oil? does Grapeseed oil have a lighter scent? How does it compare (scent wise) to Coconut Oil or Avocado Oil?
I'm looking for inexpensive and effective oils with minimal natural scents.
I'm looking for the best bang for my buck. Any suggestions are appreciated.May your lather be moist and slick, the sweep of your razor sure, and your edge always keen!
