Best blade shave ever
By Steven M Linabery
I have a very difficult beard. I am fair-skinned and my beard is dark brown--almost black--and coarse. To get anything approximating a close shave, I have to shave "against the grain" of my beard, but with regular shaving cream, this results in a horrifying bloody mess.

For many years I used an electric razor to avoid turning my jowls to raw hamburger every few days, but I was never satisfied with the results or with how long it took to get those lousy results.

Then a friend told me about shaving oil, this brand in particular. I can shave with a blade every other day and get great results. I use a "Mach 3" blade and 5 drops of this oil, and that allows me to shave as close as I like, in any direction, with no irritation whatsoever. It's also great for shaving my Kojak-style bald head.

Oh, and this stuff smells great, too. It's got clove oil and some other fragrant essential oils in it. I think the oils help keep my skin soft and smooth.

I should also mention that one bottle lasts me several months, in case you are put off by what seems like a high price.

Anyone who shaves with a blade owes it to him/herself to try this stuff.

Good potion - not too thick
By JDS
I use this with my Braun electric razor to get a closer shave. I suppose that's probably not its intended use, but it works for me. I like that the oil is not very thick - it does not clog my razor's foil and 3 or 4 drops is enough for my shave. It's not the cheapest shave oil out there, but it is one of my favorites (I also really like the Grooming Lounge Beard Master). Also, one bottle lasts me over 6 months of shaving 5 or 6 days per week, so it's still a very good value. I generally wash my face, apply a few drops, shave and wash my face again (probably not necessary, but I don't like leaving any oil on my mug). Shaving with the oil feels noticeably closer than without. Not as close as a blade shave, but I use the electric because it causes much less irritation. I recommend it.

Crew shave oil
By bungydude
Good product that provides a close shave. It's one of the less expensive shave oils on the market and goes along way. Watch traveling with this bottle as it has a tendency to leak under pressure in aircraft. I put it in a small snack baggie to protect it from leaking on other items in my luggage.
