First Post... I’m a avid wet shaver, what uses a few old GEM SE razors. I also have a Goatee and am trying to grow it out and was recently exposed to the Beard world of oils and Butters. I was tired of buying 20$ bottles of oil so I did a truckload of research and bought some oils and made my own. This is what I used
15 ml Tamanu Oil
15 ml Kukui Oil
30 ml Castor Oil
30 ml Apricot Kernel Oil
30 ml Hemp Seed Oil
30 ml Hazelnut Oil
30 ml Grapeseed Oil
Vitamin E oil tried to measure , too thick to get accurate , I’ll guess 5ml
Made one bottle W/Sandalwood Essential Oil, one bottle W/Lavender Essential Oil, and one W/ Frankencinse Essential Oil
So far I’m real happy. It absorbs quickly, leaves my hair soft and two of the bottles smell great. One of them I used a little too much Essential Oil, damn that stuff goes a long way....but it’s fine after about 15min. Lol Doeant look greasy and leaves a nice shine.
I researched the hell out of the carrier oils. Stayed away from Jojoba and Pecan because those two are used by everyone. All of the oils are great for hair and skin.
I want to make some Beard Butter next, and due to my exposure to the Shave world I am thinking of using Babbasu Oil.
Anyway anybody have any idea experience in shave Oils? Curious as to some opinions on my stuff. Thanks
