So this firday night I tried to make my own shaving cream. It was really an interesting thing to try. Below is the recipie that I followed:

Eco-Friendly Homemade Shaving Cream: How to Make Shaving Cream

I used Dr Bronner's Castile Soap - Peppermint becasue I couldn't find peppermint essetial oils. I also added 10 drops of Eucalyptus and 10 drops of lavender. The smell was incredible!!!

Now the problem that I have is that my cream was very runny and looked like soapy water. That might be becasue I didn't have a blender or handmixer handy to mix all the ingredients together so I ended up more foam than actual cream. I plan to repeat my process but this time I will have a blender ready to go in hopes that that is the problem.

*Tip - make sure you are have the water boiling in the double boiler to melt to cocoa butter.

*Tip 2 - I read somewhere that if you first melt the cocoa butter and then add the oil you can speed up the melting process.

Let me know if you know what I was missing to turn this recipie into a cream and not just soapy water.

-Enjoy
