Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 As you have such good Jojoba oil in the US, I would recommend a shaving oil - pure Jojoba with a drop of Sandalwood or something suitably masculine. If he gets a lot of trapped hairs or rashes - use an EO such as Tea Tree, Eucalyptus ....

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Most any soap recipe will work, just add castor oil to the recipe if you don't already. Castor oil makes the soap lather more. You can go as high as 12% without getting a really soft soap(guess how I found this out<G>). Also, use the moisturizing oils as well.
