Yes it is possible, after all the Romans used to shave with olive oil so I see no reason why not. I have shaved with a shave oil and although a little strange because it is hard to see where you have shaved compared to lather you can get a very good shave, just try to keep the oil off your razor handle!I am wondering whether it is possible to use jojoba oil as a standalone shaving oil. Originally, I was going to use it in conjunction with a carrier oil (grapeseed), but since its shelf life varies from 3 to 12 months (depending on the kind of seed), jojoba alone seems to be a more viable alternative.
Try it and let us know, it's interesting to know it does not go off, a real bonus. Compared to almond oil is it expensive?I have already tried oil, some kind of oil made of peppermint essential oil, sold at Asda. It is OK, neither bad or good.
My understanding is that you can mix carrier oil with essential oil (EO is out of question, because I am highly sensitive), but carrier oil is enough (apricot kernel, sweet almond, etc), the problem is the shelf life, those oils have to be used before going rancid. Jojoba does not go off.
EDIT: jojoba oil is a wax actually
Well you've sold it to me, I've just ordered some from Amazon. Just put more on, your skin can only absorb so much.My concern is that jojoba oil is absorbed very quickly, hopefully not quickly enough so that I can shave properly...
I use jojoba oil mixed with sweet almond oil and aloe vera as an aftershave balm. Seems to work well.
You have one american alternative of OLD POST ROADS :

Oddly enough, jojoba oil was used to prevent balding. It dissolves sebum, which was thought to clog pores and prevent hair growth. Who knows?Basically you could shave with it.
