Yep, it really is that simple. No chemicals, no perfumes, supports your local producers…and the bees will love you for it!
I heard about it at the Raw Union so for 10 days now I’ve been shaving with honey, raw and straight out the jar. Driving back from the property Sunday I stopped in to Sandy’s Market and picked up a jar of local Texas honey. When selecting a honey, local is your first choice then a thin, easily spreadable consistency works best- you may still need to warm it a little before using.
Next stop was the grocery for a spatula, nothing special, just a run of the mill cake scraper. I found this out through trial an error, for my first shave I applied the honey with fingers and this can (did!) get a little messy.
Take the spatula (for you ladies, the over-sized popsicle stick that comes in your wax kit would be ideal), dip it into the honey and apply to face, legs…or wherever else you need it. Apply a thin smear and spread evenly, I found a little bit at a time works best.
Shave per normal and then clean up with warm cloth…nothing to it. I found rinsing razor with warm water first aids with that first pass. It is not messy, and only takes maybe an extra minute to shave as there is some time to apply…I’m sure this will get quicker as I get better. Keep in mind this is not just for the blokes, you sheilas can use it on your legs as well- it’s probably even easier!
Give it a go- it feels amazing as does your skin after as a result of all the great natural stuff found in honey. The enzymes in the honey aid in breaking down and removing the dead skin.
This is such a great way to start the day, an evening out or whenever you normally shave and I’m sure your first couple tries would be best shared with another…something about honey dripping from your chin that excites the senses.

Don’t be surprised if the flowers follow you as you walk bye- Enjoy!!!
