  Electric shaver cleaner

  Posted by kawina on April 1, 2021 at 5:59 pm

  I’m trying to create an electric shaver cleaner that is primarily isopropyl alcohol and most of the rest is distilled water. Isotridecyl Stearate is part of the formula for a smoother shave and lubricating the shaver. Unfortunately I cannot obtain Isotridecyl Stearate in small enough quantities. Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative ingredient?

  @kawina Many organic esters are miscible with IPA. Isononyl isnonanoate, isopropyl myristate, pentaerythrityl tetraisostearate, C12-15 alkyl benzoate, I could go on and on and on. Try one, check its miscibility in IPA and feel the joy.
