Adam's Happy Face

Adam has sensitive skin. He's struggled with shaving for many years, but he loves a very smooth face and dislikes wearing a beard. He tried an electric shaver several times. The boys recommended a safety razor (not a success), and they introduced him to specialty shaving soap, which he likes a lot.

Still, he has irritated skin when he shaves; this past week it was rather bad. The razor scratched. He asked me about pre-shaving oil, which is expensive. When he told me the ingredient list, I said, "I can make that for you, honey."

It's a simple oil blend of olive oil, coconut oil, almond oil, and a little tea tree essential oil. Adam says next time he might prefer to omit the coconut oil and replace it with a lighter oil, perhaps grapeseed oil.
Right now, he's rubbing this oil blend into his face before shaving and afterward, and it's making an astounding difference. He shaved this morning at 5:00 (yeah ... I know!). About 12 hours later, his face was still smooth -- as smooth as if he'd just shaved a few minutes before. Plus, there is now no irritation or scratchiness at all! He's very, very happy with his face.
