The other day, I posted a recommendation for a straight edge razor for shaving. It's excellent, but how about the shaving cream to use? Well, at Discovery.com, they have a little simple and cost effective recipe to make your own shaving cream. It cost pennies to make and you have a face friendly cream to use that doesn't have all the artificial ingredients to smear all over your face. Actually there's many different solutions to make that you can use as shaving cream. This however is simple and easy to do.
From Discovery.com
Here's what you'll need:
1/2 teaspoon of sunflower oil
1/4 cup of unscented glycerin soap
Double boiler
A cup or mug for the cream
Here's what you'll do:
- In your double boiler, melt chunks of the glycerin soap.
- Stir in the sunflower oil.
- Move the mixture into a mug as soon as all of the glycerin chunks are melted.
This formula will set quickly. When you need to shave, simply work water against the soap until a lather builds and use it the same way you would regular shaving cream.
