The Best Shave of Your Life

Over the last year I've received a few Sugar Scrubs as gifts and I've made a discovery people! Okay discovery is a little much, but still it's pretty awesome.

I'm you've all seen the sugar scrub recipes on Pinterest and wondered who does these! Well luckily I've had a few people in my life give it a go and hand these out as gifts (shout out to Tara and Jami!).

At first I just used these as a scrub and called it good. And then I realized the oil in the scrub was staying on my skin so... a little light bulb came on and I did something crazy! I decided after I rinsed off the sugar I would shave with the leftover oil. And OMG! It's the best, most close shave ever!

Believe me, I have references! I've told my family and friends about this, and it's a consensus. It's kind of addicting, I've tried shaving cream since them and it's just not the same.

First, the scrub makes for a really close shave. Then, the leftover oil makes the razor glide easily and minimizes cuts, and then when you're done, you don't need to lotion!

FANTASTIC!

There's only a few things to remember.

You need to mix the scrub each use because the sugar and oil separate.
You should rinse the razor after every few strokes (I do 2) to clean out the gunk.
You will go through razors a little faster, but in my opinion it's worth it :)

I hope you all give this a try and let me know what you think! I'm sorry I don't have a recipe for you, but like I said I'm kind of addicted and my stash is running low :) so I'm going to have to make a batch here soon.
