By Jody Smith

If you are into making your own bath and beauty products you may or may not know that the men in your life can benefit from DIY beauty products as well!  Rich, moisturizing, and free from unpronounceable ingredients this DIY shaving cream smells amazing too.   Treat someone to this creamy and decadent homemade shaving cream for an indulgent spa treatment for him.  Scents are easily changed up with different essential oils so you could make this for yourself with more feminine scents  like lavender. This clove and  cedarwood combination is a wonderful masculine scent!

3. Add 5 drops of clove essential oil  and 10 drops of cedarwood essential oil, mix. Add more oil to desired scent.

4. Transfer to a glass jar with an airtight lid.
Store in a cool, dry place – Mixture will melt in very warm bathrooms but will still work. To firm up melted shaving cream place in refrigerator until it begins to resolidify. You can also toss back in the mixer to reblend if desired.

To use, apply a thin layer to skin and shave.

    I have really enjoyed your blog posts for a long time, your kitchen and decorating posts are some of my all time favorites. Sadly, however I am unsubscribing from your site you . Your posts and many emails seem to be going in a different direction than what I am interested in. Thank you so much for the wonderful things you have shared in the past. Best wishes

      So sorry to see you go but I totally understand. We are currently renting and closing on our new house in July so I will have more decorating post. But yes, my focus has shifted to being more of a frugal homemaking resource blog rather than a DIY/decorating blog and that will continue.

      Thank you so much for being a reader of this blog!
