While you can see in my photos, there are oils that come from different brands that I have tested and used over the years. It includes plant therapy, young living, and aroma-zone from France. There are all high-quality and pure-grade oils that I recommended. If you are based in the US, plant therapy is your best choice as not only they provide high-quality oils but also it is cost-effective. They do international delivery too. The only oil they don’t have in the recipe is Safflower oil which you can get from Amazon. For a bottle of 50ml Shave Oil created from plant therapy oils, it is approximately 3.67 US Dollars.

If you are based in Europe, you can find all these oils from Aroma Zone in France. They have all the accessories you needed as well. It is 2.60 euros for a 50ml DIY Shave Oil.
