I've been going through recipes, and trying to make sure I'm caught up on leaving reviews for things I've tried. I first tried this recipe on August 11, 2004! Sorry about that. Hopefully, it will make you feel better to know that my husband loves this stuff, and I've been making it for him ever since. I vary the oils from time to time; his personal favorite seems to be clary sage oil. He keeps a container of it in the shower to smooth on after every shave, and it seems to help with razor irritation. Thanks for the recipe, I'm just sorry it took me so long to review it! :)
