The talk about pre-prep with olive oil made me want to experiment because I've been having some irritation lately. I mentioned it to my wife, who knows about these things, and she discouraged me from using olive oil, which she said was too aggressive. She suggested using sweet almond oil instead. The first day I rubbed the oil on my face and then lathered up. I liked the results but my face was too slippery to get a good grip to stretch the skin. The second day I put a little bit of oil right in the soap bowl before I started lathering and made an emulsion with the soap. I've done this for two days and I'm totally pumped! I get an absolutely perfect BBS shave and absolutely no irritation. Plus, the skin is not too slippery to grip. I highly recommend it.
