Father's Day is just around the corner and what better way to tell dad you love him than with a homemade gift that he can use every day? This pre-shave oil will help improve the quality of shave and result in a smoother face.

What is pre-shave oil? It’s a soothing layer of protection to add to your skin prior to shaving. This recipe contains oils that calm and protect the skin as well as soften coarse facial hair in order to prevent irritation and inflammation caused by a razor.
