I agree, I have tried olive oil along with different mixes of oils and I always go back to Noxzema. How ever the two things I don't like about Noxzema is how cold t is and the residue it leaves in the sink trap so I use it sparingly and run hot water down the drain when cleaning up. If the weather is real cold on occasion I might use warmed up olive oil as a pre shave. But like you I prefer Noxzema.

Well, with everybody chiming in ere's my two cents. Have tried all the different approaches and had very mixed results. Finally stumbled on the following. Last thing in the shower rub a small dollop of hair conditioner on your beard, do not rinse off. When ready to lather splash face with choice of temperature tap water. Apply a small amount of Cremo or Kiss My Face shaving cream and rub well into beard. Lather over that and shave. A heck of a lot more cushion and easy clean up.

castor oil and olive oil and coconut oil are used ALL the time. I use the castor oil and coconut oil after almost every shave as a skin conditioner. Great. Hasn't failed me for YEARS.
