    I heard baby oil is great for pre-shave.

    I'm gonna give it a test.

    I mix up my own PSO using a modification of a mix published by Michael Ham. 2 parts sweet almond oil, 2 parts avocado oil, 2 parts extra virgin olive oil, 1 part grapeseed oil, and 1 part macadamia nut oil. I couldn't find the macadamia nut oil handily, so I used 1 part of a vitamin E oil which is based mostly on safflower oil and grapeseed oil. I add a few drops of sweet orange EO just to make it smell nice; you can use other scents or none. This is a nice light oil that isn't too sticky, especially if your face has a little warm water left on it before applying.
    If the lather has caused your skin to get a little dry by the end of the shave, then you can use this like an ASB, splash on a little Thayer's Witch Hazel after it to help it absorb quickly.
