    Default Jojoba, glycerin and eucalyptus

    Hi,
    I commonly use pure jojoba oil as a pre and after shave. I also use glycerin for uberlather.
    Guessing if mixing jojoba and a bit of glycerin would make a good pre and after shave. In this latter case,
    1.- How about adding a few drops of eucalyptus?
    2.- Does it have razor burn calming properties, the only lack of jojoba oil?
    3.- Percentages?
    Thanks.

    I would ask one of the vendors.....that's a pretty technical question.

    Eucalyptus essential oil can be added, but I would suggest no more than 5%. T

    As kind and wise as always, Carrie,
    Do u think that I should this eucalyptus and jojoba oil as pre or only as after shave?
    Adding a few drops of glycerin would make a beneficial effect? Pre or after?
    Thanks again.

    Personally I don't believe that adding glycerin would add any benefit to the mixture. The properties of the jojoba oil make it easily absorbed into the skin. Glycerin is not easily absorbed and may flake on your face if using it in the aftershave application. I would suggest staying with the jojoba and eucalyptus oils as the pre and post shave application and just use the glycerin in the uber lather
