Making your own shaving cream will help you avoid many harmful toxins found in traditional shaving products and is also good for the environment. It’s actually not very difficult at all and there are a few variations you could easily make.
Lets get started:
Ingredients:
½ teaspoon of sunflower or rapeseed oil
¼ cup unscented natural glycerine soap
Double boiler (one larger pot over a small one works well too)
2 drops essential oil of your choice (lavender or peppermint work well)
Instructions:
#1 – Melt the pieces of glycerine soap in a double boiler
#2 – Slowly stir in the oil
#3 – Add the essential oil of your choice and mix well until the mixture is completely melted and thick.
#4 – Use right away as the formula sets very quickly
This recipe works well for both men and women. Here is another recipe which is particularly good for shaving the legs, not so great for the face as it may be too thick and creamy.

And for days when you’re in a hurry or want a super smooth shaving cream for your legs simply use organic coconut oil mixed with a little rapeseed oil. This is quite a thick mixture but will leave your legs extra smooth.
