How To Make 🥣
Step 1
Melt both, the shea butter and the coconut oil on a low heat on the stove.
Step 2
Once both are liquid, pour into a bowl. Add olive oil and give it a good stir. Set this mixture to cool in the fridge and let it harden.
Step 3
Once it has solidified, take out of the fridge. At this stage, it will resemble a block of butter. Now it is time to whip it! Whip at least for 3 minutes at high speed until it is light and creamy.
Step 4
Add desired essential oils and fold the cream.
Step 5
Pour into a jar with a lid.
How To Use ❓
Apply a thin layer of the came to the area you want to shave. Be sure to use a good quality razor. If you use your shaving cream during a bath, apply at the end as, by this time, the pores of your skin will have warmed up. Rinse the blade between shaves or wipe it on a wet washcloth. You can also use this as a “dry” shaving cream. That is to say; you don’t have to remove the excess, you can enjoy its smooth lotion effect from what remains after shaving.
Notes 📌
This homemade shaving cream does not lather; a thin layer does the work. The shaving creams’ texture is a cross between shaving oil and shaving soap.
Less is more with this shaving cream as it is thick. A little amount will go a long way, about the size of a quarter for each leg will work just fine.
While using in the shower, be very careful as it can make the surface slippery! Invest in a bath mat to make it a non-slip surface.
The ingredients are very self-stable and do not require a preservative. Please refrain from adding water. It will aid in the development of bacteria or mold and affect its shelf life. Do not use wet fingers to scoop out your cream, dry your hands first, or better yet keep a small spatula or spoon. For longer shelf-life, store in a cool, dry place.
