...... is this code for "I've spent too much on a Rex so now I'm using Lurpak with oils for a pre-shave"?Anyone ever tried to make there own ?
im just waiting on sandalwood essential oil coming through the post and I'll have a batch ready.
if it works the way I think it will work then I very much doubt I'll buy a preshave again
HAHAHAHA you've got me lol...... is this code for "I've spent too much on a Rex so now I'm using Lurpak with oils for a pre-shave"?
Sandalwood EO with a base oil of your choice, I like Jojoba and you have an oil that is not too slick and sinks in onto the skin ,you only need a small amount.Anyone ever tried to make there own ?

3-5% dilution no more than that.

Yes tea tree is quite powerful stuff do maybe best to one sandlewood and one teatree perhaps?!!!Yeah iv used Jojoba & caster oil with some sandlewood & tee tree.
On heinsite the t tree i overpowering the sandlewood in terms of scent however both of them are their & doing a job,
i doubt i’ll put tea tree in my next batch
This is very interesting, can you give any more details on proportio
A 3-5% by volume of essential oils to a carrier oil of your choice, I quite like laurel berry oil as well as Jojoba oil carrier but there are many you can use.
Ok. Why does the amount of essential oil change with age?
Age Amount of base cream or lotion Amount of essential oil 65 years + 50 g 10 drops 12 - 65 50 g 20 drops 4 - 12 50 g 10 drops 1 - 4 50 g 4 drops under 1 50 g 2 drop Pregnant 50 g 4 drop
Boycie I never use any inferior products for pre shave I stick with what I know best Mazola is cheap enough for anyone...... is this code for "I've spent too much on a Rex so now I'm using Lurpak with oils for a pre-shave"?
So I've never used preshave oils and use oils for my beard so was wondering if there's any oils I could use for a DIY preshave oil? Thought could use something i might already have laying around the house
