Do It Yourself Shaving Cream Recipe

If you're a DIY type, or just want a cheaper or cleaner version of shaving cream, try making your own with this recipe from the folks at Planet Green:

Here's what you'll need: 1/2 teaspoon of sunflower oil 1/4 cup of unscented glycerin soap Double boiler A cup or mug for the cream

Here's what you'll do:

1. In your double boiler, melt chunks of the glycerin soap.

2. Stir in the sunflower oil.

3. Move the mixture into a mug as soon as all of the glycerin chunks are melted.

This formula will set quickly. When you need to shave, simply work water against the soap until a lather builds and use it the same way you would regular shaving cream.
