I have been working on some homemade products for a couple weeks now and I think I've finally got everything perfected. Just in time for menthol Monday...
A pre shave made with coconut oil, witch hazel and a blend of lavender/eucalyptus essential oils. Moisturizes my face and creates a slick surface on my skin, prepping it for my lather which makes it EXTRA slick. Has lovely top notes of lavender/eucalyptus with a sweet coconut background.
An aftershave splash made with Alcohol(Everclear 190 proof), water, pure menthol crystals, eucalyptus essential oil, and eucalyptus Epsom salt(magnesium sulfate, parfum). Helps wake you up in the morning and put hair on your chest I don't use an alcohol splash often, but when I do I go for the menthol burn.
And an aftershave lotion made with jojoba oil, coconut oil, beeswax, shea butter, vitamin e oil, peppermint and eucalyptus essential oil. Lovely moisturizing lotion with a scent that lasts hours.
All in all it was a lovely shave. The FatBoy performed flawlessly as expected. I'm now awake/alert and well moisturized! Happy shaving everyone!
