The skin turns so supple from this oil that it is more difficult to nic. I don't find that any oil softens the beard too much like other claim, but the defiantly prepare your skin beneath the hair to be shaven.

Anyway I swear by it.
I use a couple drops post shave too after AS and it's like a miracle- better the I've anything else I've ever tried

I have used eucalyptus and peppermint oils in the mix, and the work nicely as an antiseptic with mild anesthetic properties, the mineral oil really just keeps the lanolin and coconut oil in a more liquid form as both are near solid at room temp.
