I've used some old 5 Hour Energy bottles to mix a small amount of pre-shave oil, and also for With Hazel and aftershave splash for occasional business travel.
I made some today with Olive Oil and Castor Oil. I just left out the essential oil. It is some slick feeling stuff. Cant wait to give it a try in the morning.
Thanks Sara, I was just talking to my wife about making my own oil, after seeing how simple AoS' oil is. Found this post after catching up on the forums. I will try it and post my results.
If I get good results from the Shave Secret I'll make my own in the future. It just seemed smarter to spend $3.68 for the Shave Secret as a trial.
So if thats all it is why the heck does AOS charge so much for it? Take advantage of those that dont know any better? I will have to try and make this for myself.
.....i use raw unrefined shea butter as a pre-shave (and post-shave)........ ....it works great for me..... .......plus if you buy it in bulk....... it is very inexpensive............ .........word of warning though, it may gunk up your brush and razor a bit..... so you'll need to rinse them off throughly afterwards....
