I have been using avalon organics shave cream but I ran out and would like to use something more natural since I know there’s a lot of unnatural stuff in it. I have been using soap but it’s too drying. I have heard people say they use coconut oil I think but I’m not sure how that will work since it’s always pretty solid in my house. If anyone does use coconut oil to shave, how do you use it? I was also thinking of using another oil since i have a few bottles of oils around (almond, jojoba, castor) but I don’t know if that will be very economical after I use them up. Ideas?

I use aloe vera gel.
Audrey, I did think of using aloe vera gel before but I never did. It seems like it would be too sticky. I have some in the fridge from several months ago that I bought as a supplement. I doubt it is still good to consume. I was going to throw it out, do you think it would be ok to try on my legs after that long. The other problem is it’s cold from the fridge and that makes it hard to get a smooth shave (goose bumps). Suryadaya, I think I will try using some of the oils I have and If they work, I might stick with that, I was thinking of trying avocado oil or grapeseed oil(seems a little cheaper)when I run out.
Awillow, the aloe vera gel I use is from Trader Joe’s—it’s in a bottle and cut with a little alcohol and is easily spreadable.
I have the exact same routine as kayo. And it works really well. The dr. bronners tea tree oil soap followed by coconut oil. Even my four years old twins use the coconut oil after their showers.
