Homemade women’s shaving cream is so simple and easy to make. Not only that, but it is 100% natural and is significantly cheaper than most store-bought shaving creams!
This homemade shaving cream uses only 2 ingredients: coconut oil and sugar! Coconut oil works to both moisturize the skin and to provide a shaving barrier between the razor and the skin.
The sugar in this shaving cream provides a lovely exfoliation for the skin. Exfoliating the skin before shaving can help to remove dead skin and prevent razor burn from occurring. (see here for more on exfoliating & shaving)
Tips & Tricks
- Use an electric hand mixer to ensure an evenly blended shaving cream. However, a spoon will work fine in a pinch!
- A fine granulated sugar will produce a lighter exfoliating feel, whereas a coarser granulated sugar will produce a thicker (and slightly more harsh) exfoliation. Pick and choose your sugar based off of how exfoliating you want the shaving cream to be!
- For best results, use this shaving cream with a simple razor and wash off the razor between each shaving stroke. Hot water will help assist the cream from washing off of the razor better than cool water.
- Store the shaving cream in a water-proof container so that water doesn’t get into the shaving cream (thus effecting it’s consistency).
Q & A
- Does homemade shaving cream expire?
- No, homemade shaving cream does not expire. However, it may develop a smell if it has sat in the moist shower for more than 3 months (but this will not affect its ability to work well).
- Do I have to shave differently while using this homemade shaving cream?
- No, you can shave as normal with this shaving cream.
- Do I need to use a special razor?
- No, a special razor is not needed. I enjoy using a simple & cheap razor- but any kind will work.
