I have been using T&H pre-shave oil for quite a long time. It has always worked well for me and the only complaint I have had with this product is the price. $55 for four ounces to me is over priced. However, I have tried a few other brands (AOS, Jack Black) and they don't work for me.
I looked for some recipes over the Internet and decided to blend my own combining various recipes that I found.
My mixture is as follows:
Well,today was the first time to try it. I did my usual preparation: Washed face, used a hot towel for 1 or 2 minutes, splashed hot water to my face, and applied 5 or six drops of the pre-shave oil by gently rubbing into my beard, and lathered up.
The results for me were very good. I may cut down on the EVOO since the mixture was a little thicker than the T&H oil - but far less than AOS or Jack Black.
I got a very smooth, comfortable shave and the amount I spent on all of the oils was half the cost of the T&H product and I have enough oil to make at least 10 bottles equivalent to the size of the T&H bottle.
After I applied WH I put a little of the oil on my face and it acted as a nice moisturizer. I then took my shower and my face felt smooth and irritation free.
