I would like to try making my own pre shave oil but I don't know where to start. Do you have a favorite oil combo you would share?
I looked through a few pages but didn't see anything on it so I figured I'd try my own post for responses
Simple recipe..... In a 4 oz bottle, combine: 2 parts castor oil 1 part olive oil 15+ drops Essential Oil of your choice Another simple recipe..... 20ml Castor Oil 10ml Olive Oil 5ml Vitamin E Oil 10 drops Essential Oil (your choice) Woodsy recipe..... 15ml Castor Oil 15ml Jojoba Oil 4 drops Tea Tree Oil 4 drops Pine Oil
I've used the castor oil, olive oil, and essential oil, for a couple of years. I also added a couple of drops of alcohol, to preserve it. That said, I have found shaving without oil much better. Less messy, and the facial hairs seem to become better hydrated, which translated to closer, more comfortable shaves.

The only time I might do it now is when my face seems a bit irritated. Only happens at times when it's really hot outside.
2 parts jojoba 2 parts olive 2 parts grapeseed 1 part castor Got this from the end of the tutorial section
