i have also always wondered why it took weeks to reap the benefits of shave oil..

not being the complete genius i constantly pose to be.. i'm assuming it has to do with "ph balance" or something.. it must take a while to let your skin and body acclimate to the idea of shave oil..

i've toyed with shave oil in the past and overall just "gave up on the idea"...

however.. in my testing.. babyoil works wonderfully.
