Thread: Jojoba

Got to keep them happy. Life's just not worth living otherwise!

50% of each one. Going to try today by the first time.
Found these oil dispensers in a plastic stuff dedicated shop. Very useful due to its easiness when handling and letting only a few drops be shed. Moreover, they are inexpensive (2,75€/4,20USD) and last a lifetime.
Regards.

As I am a newbie, I didn't use any other oil for my oily skin. I planned using the 3P cream though, but I think that I will stick to natural products.
Does any of you apply another oil with similar results. Did any of you jump from jojoba to another oil and noticed a positive or negative difference?
Should I use differents oils for pre and after?
Regards.

I use to use Jojoba Oil, but discovered that I prefer using my Castille Soap as a preshave oil. Overall, its less expensive than Jojoba Oil and it has several of the essential oils in it. It also can be used for a variety of applications which makes it more versatile.

Before straight shaving, I also used it as shaving soap when using my Mach 3, but after getting a straight razor, a soap more specialized for straight shaving was better.

You can get the Castille Soap at most grocery stores in the health section.

Dear Pabster,
I absloutely agree. I use fine homemade soaps in a wide reange of kinds and ingredients, and mix it with cream for shaving. I also use it for my hair once a week, the Castille for clothes washing and so on.
Be well.
Great result.

Also, if I've go to be some where in a hurry and I need a shave, I'll just use Jojoba and water.

Paul,

What does the TJ stand for? Or is it just just the name? Where do you get it? It sounds interesting.

Thanks,
Kevin

TJ's is my abbreviation of Trader Joe's.
