Q&A for How to Make Your Own Shaving Cream

Cooking oil is not good for the skin and may cause a breakout. Coconut oil works well in this case because it easily moisturizes the face and has molecules small enough to penetrate hair follicles and moisturize within. However, extra virgin olive oil can be used but it doesn't have the same skin benefits as coconut oil does. Other oils that could potentially work are vitamin e oil, avocado oil, or even jojoba oil. Vegetable, canola, sunflower, or peanut oil will clog pores and may cause a breakout.

Yes, you can. All you need is glue and plain white borax. If you want your slime colorful, you can add some food coloring.

It depends on what you use for your moisturizer. Aloe vera and honey are totally fine. However, rosewater is liquid, so it might foster more bacteria. I'd suggest 3 months for the aloe vera or honey, and 2 weeks for the rosewater.

Probably not the best idea!

Rinse away the hair and excess soap or shaving cream and clean off your razor. If you're prone to dry skin or razor burn, apply a little moisturizer with aloe.

You may have added too much water or saline solution.

No, it will not work with the 2-ingredient shaving cream.

It really just depends on what ingredients you decide to buy, what ingredients you already have on hand and what store you decide to buy any supplies from. A rough guess is anywhere between $1 to $20. Choose cheap stores to keep the prices down.

No, it is not that important, it's added to your shaving cream if you want a pleasant smell, You can use any smaller quantity if you want or just leave it out to have no scent.
