Recommendations for making homemade beard oils

So I had been making my own beard oils lately, but have been running out of scented essential oils. I've been having trouble finding good oils that are safe for skin AND smell good. Got any recommendations? I've been using avocado and MCT oil as the carrier oils. I'm open to suggestions on carrier oils as well.

I want to get back into making my own after my recent experience with Artius, unfortunately. I love their products, but their customer service is kind of shit. I ordered a few bottles of oil from them on July 24, and they just FINALLY shipped today. I emailed their customer support because I received a tracking number on the 28th, and up until this morning, August 8, it was just saying that the label has been created. Now I have to wait several more days for it to get here. Michael responded saying they'd look into it, but that didn't seem to help, and they never responded to a second request.

I have been running on fumes with my current supply, so I ended up ordering a bottle from Amazon to hold me over. Sucks that I can't rely on Artius for a timely delivery. I'm also open to suggestions on other brands that might be more reliable. It's funny, I just googled "Artius Man" and it brought me to a thread on this sub talking about the same issue, so it seems that it's a recurring problem.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk. At least I found a cool new beard sub to join!

Did this crow on my leg last week. The third one I've given myself. Self-taught

I'm still pretty slow, but trying to get more comfortable and more efficient. I'm starting to feel better and more confident with the process. I love how this one turned out. Going to add some other crows flying up my leg towards this one, but just got the first one done so far.

Any tips on how to become faster at tattooing? To be clear, I'm not trying to be fast just to be fast. I'm most concerned about quality. I just don't want a simple tattoo to end up taking all day. I know it will come with time, but looking for ideas on what worked in your journey.
