Make Your Own Preshave

Using a preshaving solution with your mens electric shavers can help you achieve very positive results. But, since preshaving products are often quite expensive, is there an option for you?  YOu actually can make your own preshave lotion.

Making your own preshave can be a nature-friendly endeavor and a budget-friendly effort.  The do-it-yourself preshave is also one that you can use with either mens electric shavers or conventional razor blades.  This is better than buying expensive commercialized preshaving products.

Here’s some good news, especially to those who have very sensitive skin.  You can actually use oils, which are very natural and healthy for your skin.  The recipe and procedure for making an oil-based preshave solution right in your own home are very easy to follow.

As if that is not enough, the materials and ingredients are also easy to acquire: castor oil, olive oil, any essential oil of your preference (for fragrance), and a dark non-transparent container with a lid.  You can practically buy these from any gift shop in your area.

First, you need to find an empty bottle or used jar.  It is not necessary to buy one; this way, you can save money. This will serve as the container to store your preshaving oil. The empty jar or bottle should be dark and not clear and transparent.

Fill up to a third of the bottle with olive oil.  Then, pour the castor oil until it almost fills the bottle. Just make sure you leave enough space to provide for 4 to 7 drops of essential oil. You can purchase any essential oil of your choice. The essential oil will be used for fragrance or scent.  Lavender essential oil would also be a better choice as ingredient.  If you don’t want your preshave to have any scent, don’t add in any essential fragrance.

Seal tightly the lid of the container and shake the container well.  That should mix the castor and olive oils together. And, voila!  You’re done!

This preshave is not only easy to make but is also affordable.  You don’t have to spend so much money on the ingredients. Another good thing with making your own preshave oil is that you can use it as a gift for friends and relatives, which can be another money-saving idea.  The materials are very safe for the skin, very helpful to the environment because they are organic, and best of all, they work well whether you use traditional razors or mens electric shavers.
