    All that's needed is a shower before shaving, to soften and prep your beard/face. That's my conclusion after 30 some years with straights.

    I shaved for 40 years before I ever heard of a "pre shave" I never tried the oil but I did a short stint using the wife's hair conditioner. After a short time of not be able to tell if it worked or not I tried the conditioner on one side of my face and left the other side without it and I literally couldn't tell the difference. ......guess I don't need it then.

    The only thing I do pre-shave IF I'm patient enough is let the soap that I face lathered sit for a few minutes. I find this the best you can do, soak your whiskers and let the soap / cream sit for a while.

    Aside form that I never shower, nor use any pre-shave anything.
    Just lather up and shave.

    The soap does a good job of softening the whiskers if you let it sit for a while.

    The rest are just fancy unnecessary things, but if one likes it and it helps, why not?
