Can’t seem to get your shaving cream at a super price? Or have you run out of it on your shelves? I have been in this bind on a number of occasions. But one thing we seem to always have is cheap conditioner! Whether V05, Suave or other very affordable brand. Especially when those conditioners were purchased on a coupon and sale at a rock bottom price!
Well these conditioners actually make for a very luxurious and comfortable shave! There is a “key” word in the product that makes it so perfect for a thrifty shave! That word is CONDITIONER! This magic word not only leaves your hair soft, but also leaves the places with a lack of hair soft too! The shave goes very smoothly too! I actually have a friend who is a cosmetologist and she shaves with conditioner as a norm – she actually prefers it over shaving cream regardless of the savings!
An additional benefit that I have noticed – not only can we get the cheap conditioners….. well cheap, but they will go a lot further than the cans of shaving cream! A standard bottle of Suave conditioner usually lasts me 2-3 times longer than a standard can of shaving cream! So not only is it much cheaper than the can, it will last me longer! So no need for expensive shave products here!
So maybe reconsider buying those cheap conditioners that you thought you might not have a need for. Plus who can argue with super soft legs 😉

If you want the shaving cream effect then use and empty bottle that foaming soap comes in. dilute it about 1/4 conditioner to 3/4 water. Mix well. Add more conditioner if it is not foamy enough. Same effect much less money.

I do this too. I have this thing where I have to use matching shampoo and conditioner. My husband doesnt use conditioner so we always run out of the shampoo before the conditioner. I use the left over conditioner as my shaving cream for my legs.
Linda do you have a recipe to make foaming soap out of regular liquid soap? My hubs and daughter loves foaming soap but we don’t always have it.
