Thread: Pre-Shave Oils

So Don and I were talking the other day as we get tons of questions about Pre-Shave Oils and realized that there wasn't that much information on the proper use of them.

There is a lot of benefit to using a Pre-Shave Oil but the main problem that people have is that they use too much of it. You do not want so much oil on your hands that they are left with a greasy feeling. Same goes for Pre-Shave Creams. Pre-Shaves are really good for setting up your beard prior to your shave. The key is to use just a little bit on your finger tip or the palm of your hand and really rub it into the beard before applying your shaving cream or soap. You don't want a greasy feeling on your beard. The oil should soak into the skin.

The other thing about Pre-Shaves is that they have a more positive effect after they are used for a while.

Remember you still want to wash off any remaining oil or cream from your hands prior to shaving and handling the straight razor.

So, what kinds of Pre-Shaves are you using, how are you using it and what kinds of results are you having?

Have fun,

Lynn
