Tipnut Mailbag: Homemade Pre Wet Shave Lotion

Here’s a recipe the fellas will appreciate, it’s sent in by Dan Russell for his homemade Pre Wet Shave Lotion that he perfected for a comfortable wet shave.

This was based on a shaving liquid bought from the body shop, which seemed to be mostly soap and sunflower oil.

Homemade Pre Wet Shave Lotion

• Mix 3 parts unscented (cheap) shower gel with 1 part sunflower oil, add a few drops of tea tree oil per 100ml of fluid, shake well and only make in small batches.

Rub half a teaspoon at most into a freshly cleaned face before putting shaving foam/soap on top and this makes a far more comfortable wet shave particularly for folks with sensitive skin.

A big thank you to Dan for sharing this with all of us!
