Beard Oil

[Parsley]

Hey folks,

I seem to have finally gone full hipster and decided buying beard oil is not for me, when clearly I should be making my own artisanal folical fragrancers and conditioners.

On that note, anyone else interested in having a play around with different smells and mixing up some of their own? If there's enough interest, maybe we can do a workshop/mixing session.

If not, feel free to mock me and my (oily) slippery slope to Portland.

Parsley,

I’m in, being hipster enough to actually use beard oil, though largely the Superdrug variety as it’s not silly expensive

Count me in, after all... with great Beard comes Great Responsibility

Beard oil, like hair oil, was very popular 150 years ago. Unfortunately there were associated problems - the popularity of Macassar Oil as a hair oil led to the invention of antimacassars, which they still had on train seats when I was young, to protect the upholstery from oily stains.

I see another workshop coming up...



This has been a Public Service Announcement

I still don't *actually* have time to be around the hackspace, but Im interested in your process, and if you end up with a cool oil I might be interested in buying some of your excess.

I've got quite a few oils already, but if people want to get their own etc then go ahead.

If it's only gonna be a few of us, let's sort a day that works for us and we can have a play around, if there are more interested, then I might want to hop online and get some more carrier oils and bottles...
