Thread: How to make your own travel shave sticks

I thought about the whole "incorporation" issue as well.

However, in the context of cooking, I know that greasing a pan prevents/limits sticking - even when you add a hot mixture into the pan - so thought it would be worth giving a shot in this context. I little extra glycerine won't hurt the soap in any event, so no harm done if the experiment flops.

Let us know how this works as I'm a huge fan of the shave stick - especially when I'm trying to shave a few minutes off my morning routine and when on the road.

Another possibility would be to use shea butter. I mean it is already an ingredient in there so no worries about that, but I would think that it would be much less likely to mix with the hot, liquid soap since it is thicker and you could get a better coating on the walls of the container. What do you think Sue?

I will play with it this weekend.. I have 4 extra tubes.....

Ah, so that was my problem! All it too was five seconds too long...
