BTW: Sorry for the thread hijack , but can you tell me how you embed a video in posts? I read the Wiki but it's a bit confusing with all the codes etc. A step by step would be appreciated. I am sure it is simpler than I have made it out to be in my head.

Thanks Rene,
Honestly...no difference at all. Now, when I started using straights 7-8 months back, I would use the oil and noticed a big difference. And that's because my technique (and lather making and prep) weren't quite there. Once I got the lather, prep and technique down, the use of pre-shave oil quickly became obsolete.
Now, everytime I use it is because it smells great .
