I made some homemade shaving cream today. I didn't measure anything, I kinda just went by feel. Here's what I did:
I grated 3/4 of an Ivory soap bar and melted it on the stove. I mixed in some Ivory body wash and some cocoa butter lotion. Stirred it and put it in the fridge for 3 hrs. When I took it out, it looked a little too stiff, so I added some almond oil, until I got the consistency of whipped butter. I picked up some lavender essential oil, ( I really wanted bay rum or sandalwood, but they didnt have it). I put 30 or so drops into the cream, then put into a mason jar.
I just finished shaving with it, it was pretty good. It lathered up nice and thick, but it started getting runny after repeated rinsing of my de in the sink, and the parts that didn't get runny started to thin out.
Has anyone else experimented along these lines, and if so, how were your results?
