    If you wouldn't mind sharing, I would love to know what your homemade PSO is and how you use it! How long do you leave it on and do you rinse before lathering and shaving? I'd love to try a PSO as I have dry skin and anything I can do to alleviate it is welcomed. Thanks.

    TSD's own moderator, @Sara-s, makes preshave oil of good reputation, and has a thread around here for making your own, as well. The TSD Shave Shop (link at the top of the page) also has a good preshave balm, which @Queen of Blades is generally amenable to scenting however you like.

    I didn't have to shave this morning cause I got my first complete BBS shave last night about 11:00 PM with my DE. Buuut, since I'm obsessed...

    This morning:

    Hot bath
    Prepped with Osage Rub
    Proraso Red Cream
    Muhle 89 with my Barber Pole handle
    Iridium blade
    Osage Rub aftershave
    Aqua Velva aftershave
    Master Lilac Vegetal
    Aqua Di Gio cologne

    BBS smooth on cheeks, chin, lips and jaw line, but had several weepers on my neck near my adam's apple. The aftershaves stopped the minor weeping. All is good and looking forward to the next shave. :cool:

    Thanks Jasman! Just found her ' recipe ' for a preshave and it sounds really nice. Like the fact that you can scent it as you prefer it! I'll have to pick up the ingredients and a nice bottle to store it in.

    I made some based on the great info in that thread. I scented mine with Lavender EO I picked up at the local health food store along with a small bottle, perfect for PSO. The health food store is a good place to find all the different oils as well (avocado oil, grape seed oil etc).

    I had one of, if not the best shave this morning. Pre shave oil on the face right after a shower seems to be magic. The Simpson brush and the MdC are a hard to beat combo for face lathering. Zero irritation with the aftershave splash and I'm out the door smelling good. If I'm ever stranded on deserted Island, I hope I have this set up with me.
