I had never heard of shave oil, but a friend got me hooked on it.
What you do is put a small amount (the size of a nickle) on your palm rub your hands together and than apply to your face. This is very sticky so make sure you wash your hands before you use your razor. Your beard will have a sticky feel to it and your hair will be standing straight up. You than apply your normal shaving cream over your face. You will get the closest shave of your life.

Now onto the cost of the Art of Shaving oil. It is costly and there are cheaper oils out there. However none of the cheaper brands smell as nice as the Art of Shaving and for that alone it is worth the price. The one detractor to using the oil is that you will go thru your normal razor blades in half the time, so if you hate buying blades the shave oil may not be for you.

I use this shave oil with an old fashioned safety razor and some great shaving cream (Taylor of Old Bond St. Avocado). It's an excellent product and very easy on my sensitive skin, but I have to say that I prefer Art of Shaving's lavender-scented oil. Personal taste is all.

I had never used pre-shave oil before, but someone bought me a gift certificate for a shave at The Art of Shaving and they used it on me there. It helped a lot. I have a rough beard and get ingrown hairs on my neck. They are a real problem. I don't think I've had any since I started using this pre-shave oil. It makes a big difference. It's not cheap but it's worth it.

My husband has an incredibly thick beard, and his regular shaves were difficult, painful, and always plagued with nicks/ingrown hairs/irritated skin. This oil, in one easy step, has made his shaving experiences a sheer pleasure - he gets a much smoother shave, and his skin is clean, clear, and conditioned, and it smells HEAVENLY. I'd recommend the entire Art of Shaving 3-Step Line to anyone!

This products makes shaving a pleasure. Softens beard for a great shave. Smells really nice.

I HAVE ONLY USED THE ABOVE PRODUCT The Art Of Shaving Pre-Shave Oil Sandalwood I HAVE ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH. PLUS THE SERVICE RECIEVED FROM
AMAZON WAS VERY SPEEDY. ED

I was not thrilled with this product. It gunks up your razor. When used on my legs, it gave me itchy skin (allergic maybe?). When used under my arms, it kept my deodarant from sinking in as well. When used on my bikini area, it gave me a yeast infection. It did help reduce irritation the tiniest bit, but also kept me from getting a close shave. Maybe this works for a man who is using it on his face, but I don't recomend it for other women.
