The almon oil sounds like a great idea. I may try that in my next batch. cheers Ronnie.

thanks for the advice FCC, I have been looking at essential oils with certain carcateristics. such as clensing hydrating, anti-septic/bacterial/fungal.
and generally anything that is going to leave my skin in better condition than it was in before my shave.


Lesson 1)

If your going to use a spray bottle for your oil make sure the bottle can handle the oil, and not just break. (off to the chemists some time soon to see what i can find)

all in all my first shave with the 1:1 mix went well, skin feels nicer than with the cheap off the shelf shave oil I have been using. smooother and softer.

lets see what tomorrow brings.
