just curious if anyone has tried this and how it turned out?
i was going to try it but after looking to see what the oil would cost and figured out that it is still cheaper to just buy the regular stuff but i am still open to trying something like this and if anyone has anyother ideas please let me know
I was always shy of buying coconut oil for things when I started making my own health and beauty products, but when you begin making them and you make more of them, you will quickly see the cost savings over all.
Also, I often add bentonite clay powder to shaving soaps. It is to help the razor glide and is a great over all product. I make my own soaps from scratch, too.
It isn’t the cost of the shaving cream that kills us … it’s replacing the razor blades!
