Probably about 4 oz. salve is more moisturizing.

A couple quick questions. About how much of the salve does this recipe make? 2 ounces? 4? Also, what are the benefits of the salve versus the liquid aftershave (I’m assuming they’re both aftershave??)? I’m very excited for this recipe, makes a great gift for all of the men on my list!!!

Just made the coconut oil/shea butter recipe for my husband and he really likes it. The only thing is, it doesn’t seem to soak in for a while, leaving him looking shiny. Is he just using too much?

I use coconut oil (by itself) as a moisturizer/aftershave right now and it works wonderfully! What are the benefits of adding shea butter? I find that coconut oil already does a great job, so I’m curious about shea butter because I think of them as being very similar.

Baking soda works great as a shaving cream alternative. A solution of 1 cup water and 1 Tbls of baking soda will let your razor glide over and leave your legs smooth!

I don’t know about shea butter, but I’ve used coconut oil on my face with no ill effect. The prescription acne meds I’m on can be overdrying, and a tiny bit of coconut oil balances things out.
