Pre-Shave Oil is fantastic for me
I have recently made the switch to wet shaving. I had NEVER been able to shave everyday, because of facial irritation with the popular razors , I decided to learn how and for me the pre-shave was the final part of the puzzle. I switched over to shave soap & brush, with the fusion razor, that was much better, but not good enough, then went to DE and that was Much better, but still not good enough and then went to pre-shave oil and that was the bomb - for me.
I can not use any lotion based product as a pre or post shave as it irritates my skin or causes breakouts, the oil has left my skin feeling great and eliminated the red bumps and I am now BBS with no irritation
my 2 cents
try every thing until you find what works for you, then add whatever you may find pleasurable
T&H Oil
Hot towel
The Gentlemans quarter soap
Badger silvertip brush
Parker 99r with derby blades
Old spice, or clubman or bay rum
Witch Hazel at night
