(the following transcript is slightly fictitious, although the ideas are correct ) Steve: So, JoAnna, have you thought about making a pre-shave oil? JoAnna: *sigh* Steve, Steve, Steve. How long must I put up with you? If you wanted to make the firmer preshave balm an oil, you just need to warm it. A warm water bath or short microwave bursts would liquify the balm, then you could pour it into a bottle. Then you would just need to place the bottle in warm water while prepping for your shave. Steve: So I scooped out what little remaining TSD ISZ PSB I had left (more already on order) and put it into an empty M Bomb bottle (yep, still have plenty of that in stock), dropped it into the hot water I had my lather bowl in warming up, and, there ya go - a TSD Pre-Shave hot oil treatment! It felt great, both getting rubbed over the beard, and making for a very comfortable shave.
