DIY pre-shave oils – worth the effort?

I’ve seen people on forums mixing their own pre-shave oils with stuff like grapeseed and castor oil. Has anyone tried this? Curious if it’s as effective as the branded stuff or just a hassle.

Mixing your own oils can work but its kinda trial and error like i tried grapeseed and castor combo but it felt too heavy for my skin ended up tweaking ratios to get it right branded stuff has the formula dialed in but DIY is cheaper if you nail it

DIY’s cheaper but branded oils often have smoother, non-greasy formulas.
