Re: Facewash & Shaving Cream Rec.
Homemade Shaving Oil
1 shot castor oil (emollient)
1 shot olive oil (thickening, seems to be good for skin)
4 shots canola oil (cheap base oil, anything would do to sub for this)
sprinkle tea tree oil (for antibacterial properties)
sprinkle grapefruit essential oil (for scent)
mells nice, feels nice, and performs better than shaving cream as it's more easily absorbed into the skin. I never cut myself shaving with oil, and my blades last much longer than they did with soap/gel.
I'm currently enjoying Kiss My Face "moisture shave": http://www.kissmyface.com/moistshavepages/moistshavepage.html. I have the peach scent. It doesn't dry out my legs, smells great, and I get a super smooth shave.
The GudonyaToo shaving cream smelled really nice, but it was messy (I chose almond scent and the red stained my shower curtain) and very drying. I've also tried Alba foam shave in sea mist scent, and 1) the scent made me feel like I was using DH's shaving cream and 2) it wasn't very moisturizing.
As far as face wash; I use the oil cleansing method (OCM).
