How To Shave With Olive Oil

Are you a little sensitive? The chemicals in commercial shaving creams and lotions may dry out and irritate your skin. Imagine the money you would save if you didn't have to buy shaving cream or lotion. Follow these easy steps to find out how to make and use an all-natural and organic shaving lotion from olive oil. Are you a little sensitive? The chemicals in commercial shaving creams and lotions may dry out and irritate your skin. Imagine the money you would save if you didn't have to buy shaving cream or lotion. Follow these easy steps to find out how to make and use an all-natural and organic shaving lotion from olive oil.

Step 1: Choose Your Oil

Olive oil contains Vitamin I and is a natural antioxidant so it's great for your skin. The best choice for shaving is extra virgin olive oil. You should avoid pure and light olive oil as they have been chemically processed.

Step 2: A Little Goes A Long Way

Pour out a little olive oil into your hands and rub into your skin. In addition to being a great energizer for your skin, olive oil is a great lubricant and will protect your skin from nicks and cuts while you shave. Since the oil is naturally moisturizing your skin, you won't need to apply any aftershave lotion when you're finished shaving.

Step 3: Don't Get Rusty

Once you're finished shaving, you can help preserve the life of your razor and prevent it from rusting easily by dipping it into olive oil. The oil will lubricate the metal and naturally protect the surface. Done.

    I've been using olive oil on my face for years and have no wrinkles at my "advanced" age, but I found that this isn't the best way to shave

    Does it realy burn your skin? It seems like it would work better than shaving creams since its natural

    This is not a good idea, as this can make all kinds of bacteria and fungi grow on your skin. I think baby oil is better, and it doesn't sting.

    This is not one of the better tips I've followed. The olive oil really did nothing to moisturize my skin because it all came off once the razor passed, and now my leg is burning. It was very hard to try to wash all of the hair and oil off of the razor as well. I did my other leg with regular cream and it feels just as smooth without the burn. My advice--stick with cream made for sensitive skin or find an organic product. Save the olive oil for afterward as a moisturizer.

    I followed this exactly and i have the WORST razor burn of my life. I must say though, this would work good as a before-shower lotion.
