It depends on your local temperature. Either one can be started as a 1/3 of each, then tweak it from there. Keep good notes, so once you find what you like, you can replicate it.

If you use candellila wax instead of bees wax, cut the ratio in half. I just made a heavenly lotion bar:
1 C Jojoba oil
1 C Olive oil
2 C Shea Butter
1 C Calendellila wax
(2 cups oil, 3 cups butter, 1 cup calendelllila)

Hope this helps!

Oh sure. I was making a big batch to take to my first retail location :P I've made it measuring in oz's too.

Thank you Gina. I have candelilla wax that I would like to use and I would sub mango for the shea (I'm allergic to shea).

Candellila seems to add a little more "slip" to the bar than beeswax. I liked it a lot better. Jojoba is kind of an expensive way to go - and could also be substituted for another oil, or just double up on the olive oil.

Please let me know how it turns out for you :-)
