WD40 should be widely known.
Hence WD20.30 as a name for preshave.
'Invented' by kriklkrakl in the german forum gut-rasiert.de, where you could read 30 pages until now about it, going back to 2010.
The original recipe is:
20% VitaHorn Cream
30% (Body)Oil
50% AfterShave
There are lots of variations been attempted, as more than 20% cream, ColdCream instead of VitaHorn, pathenol added, cosmetic alcohol thinned instead of after shave, etc.pp.
There are recipes with
42% Cold Cream
25% BodyOil and
33% AS
The latest improvement is adding 2-3% citric acid to the solution.
My first attempt (O1 'peated') was - regarding the consistency (creamy, not liquid) and effect - the best until now:
Lavera Basis sensitive All-Round Creme 20g
Jojoba oil 10g
Argan oil 10g
Weleda natural arnica Massage oil 10g
Single Malt Bowmore 40% 40g
Becherovka 38% 10g
Will do this again with less Bowmore (I was lacking after shave at that time, hence the scotch/liquor) some Majestät A/S instead and 4% citric acid next time.
So what's your recipe?
