I put together a shaving kit for Mike for Father's Day. He got a safety razor, badger brush, razor stand, and a mug of homemade shaving cream. He loves it!
1/2 cup grated ivory soap (about a third of a bar)
2/3 cup hot water
1 Tbsp borax
2 Tbsp melted coconut oil
3 Tbsp sweet almond oil
20 drops of essential oil (lemon is supposed to soothe razor burn, so that's what I chose)
Dissolve the ivory soap in the hot water - it took a LOT longer than I expected it to. Just keep stirring! Add to a blender or food processor (my small chopper barely held it all, so next time I'll probably double the batch and use my larger processor) with the remaining ingredients and blend until fluffy. Pour into your favorite mug or other repurposed, wide-mouthed container.
