I started to experiment with preshave oils .
I've started to use a few drops of Almond Oil as a preshave I rub it into my beard when my Face is wet from washing, then lather up on top of it
So far this has been a cheap way of getting great results from my shave.
Give it a go as so far the results are better than some of the other products I've used to date.
