    I suppose this could actually be moved to the other preshave section

    I tried the oil and it didn't work for me. I'm using this product in my pre-shave routine. I rub a small amount into my wet whiskers. I brush lather my favorite shaving soap or cream over-top. Make a razor pass, rinse with cold water and repeat the process. I'm getting very smooth and comfortable shaves.

    Right now I'm using neutrogena sensitive skin razor defense face scrub before shaving as the directions say to do, it doesn't work well for me. I'm still razor burnt from yesterday.

    Many facial scrub products contain salicylic acid to kill bacteria. My neutrogena product is a sensitive skin shaving cream. If the facial scrub is causing irritation I would stop using it. It's removing to much of the natural oils from your skin.

    I got some grapeseed oil and I'm going to try it tomorrow when I shave. I'm giving my skin a few days to recover.

    I've made it scented it with orange and cedar essential oil. It works as well as any pre oil I have tried and now have a lifetime supply.
    Don't drink and shave!

    I broke down and shaved today, I ised the oil with every pass, I went wtg, atg, and xtg and then touched up any rough spots with absolutely no irritation and I'm BBS, I couldn't stop touching my neck cause I've never felt it so soft and smoothe.
