    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.

    Smart idea. Use what you have, save money & throw out less stuff.

    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.

    I tried the PSO today and it worked great! Very nice protection.

  9. 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.

    Erik Redd Lizabeth, baby, I'm comin' to join ya.

    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.

    I use basically the same recipe but I add some glycerine.

    Does it mix well with the oils?

    Yes no problem. Just need to shake the bottle before use.

    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....
