There’s something remarkable about extra-virgin coconut oil, which makes a wonderful lotion to shave your face with. Watch as Marc Felion shaves years off his face by shaving with a safety razor and coconut oil.

Interesting. I heard a lot about facial cleansing with coconut oil, so against my best judgment, I tried it. Oh wow, that one bit me in the ass… well… face. Glad it works for you. Maybe I will try this with argan oil. Still cheaper than botox.
I second Fausto. DON’T ACCIDENTALLY OFF YOURSELF WITH THAT STRAIGHT RAZOR!
What happened when you used coconut oil?
I was cringing the whole time waiting for the moment you were gonna cut yourself. Fortunately it didnt happen!
But what about those little hairs on your face that arent part of the beard? Arent they gonna grow and turn you into Chewbacca?
Those little hairs don’t get much of a chance to grow. Plus, hair does not grow in thicker the more you shave. That’s an old wive’s tale.
So I wanted to try it out so I went out and bought some coconut oil yesterday then came home and steamed my face. Then shaved my whole face with coconut oil only. It felt great! I surprised I could actually save my facial hair with the oil only and I didn’t get an razor burn!
Thanks Marc!
Glad you liked it.
I’ve also tried shaving my face…but not with coconut oil..I’ve been using Dr. Weil facial cleanser by Orgins. Where could I get coconut oil, how much is it usually?
Any health food store sells it. Get the extra virgin stuff (its white and solid at room temp)

Robert and I found the coconut oil at Trader Joe’s I tried it this morning, but I think I was a bit over-zealous. My face was red all day, plus I made the mistake of putting on my usual moisturizer (Amlactin). Talk about sting!!! Next time, I’ll be a bit more gentle while “shaving”.
A little redness is ok and should go away. Let me know how you look the next day.
I use to shave twice per day and since using coconut oil and a shaving tool and a balm, I only shave once per day!
