so after looking at some shave oils at the drugstore, I noticed that most of them (can't remember brands - sorry) seemed to have the same consistency as olive oil... so I've been using that as a pre-shave oil...

it works really well compared to not using it at all. I take my finger and put it on the cap and turn the bottle over to get one side, then again for the other, then again for the chin area. then I work the lather up in the mug, apply, shave and get on with my day.

I also threw a little bit of orange oil in there to mask the smell of the olive oil.
