Thread: Shave Secret Product

I recently purchased this product called "Shave Secret" as an alternative to the various kinds of Pre-Shave Oils available. I wasn't exactly up for the price. The product Shave Secret, however, rings in at just under $4 at the local Wal-Mart. I was skeptacle when I purchased it, supposedly you only need 3-5 drops of the stuff in the palm of your hand rubbed with the other palm and then applied to the face. They say that if you dont think you have enough your wrong. Simply apply more water. The product comes in a little 18.75ml. eye dropper. I got the stuff home washed my face, applied Shave Secret as instructed, lathered up and proceeded to shave my face. This time I was using a Art of Shaving Shave Cream and a Dovo Shavette with a disposible Astra blade. I finished shaving washed my face off and applied my aftershave Proraso. I had the shock of my life! I shave with the grain and never before have I been able to shave in a fashion that makes the hairs undetectable against the grain! Now mind you this wasn't the case in all spots but it was in many my immediate sideburns and upper and lower lip to name a few. It was fantastic, it gave me hope (wink wink). There were few if any nicks and no razor burn. It was great. I wanted to share my experience and thought this was the ideal place, I hope you all benifit as I have!

Maybe it's some hair remover cream and there actually is no hair left under the lather!

I have been using it since I started, now I also use a home made pre shave alternating pending my mood.

For the price it is a good product IMO, not to mention I like the light menthol and clove hit from it.

A lot of times I will add a few drops to my aftershave balm as well,

it leaves a nice mild cooling effect and the clove in it is a good antiseptic.

I found the stuff at WallyWorld, too. I really like the cooling effect, and it seems to help soften the whiskers a bit. Good stuff, and pretty cheap

I use it every now and then (I prefer my Proraso pre-shave cream) and I like it a lot.

kind of off topic but would this product make a good oil coat to preserve your blade between uses?

I dunno, never tried it for that use, but for the price, I'd rather just use mineral oil, which is around $2 for a MUCH larger bottle.

Can you find mineral oil in chain stores like target and walmart? if so what section would they be located? thanks!

sorry for hijacking the thread!

Yes. I found mine at Walmart right near the pharmacy. It was near the laxatives IIRC, as mineral oil can be used for that purpose as well.

I've been using Shave Secret for about 6 months and find it very good for the price as mentioned in this thread.
