Shave of the day with home made pre-shave oil
I use home made pre-shave oil a lot. it's cheap and easy to make and the ingredients can be found at most Walgreens. This was my shave from Wednesday October 17th 2012, using pre-shave oil. I find that 1/3 of each ingredient's seems to work the best for me. Then put in a few drops of essential oil or vanilla or peppermint extract.
