REN and the T&H product do not have a tacky oil feel at all. They lubricate and nourish the skin and provide glide for the blade. They do not clogg up your blade. They will leave a residual deposit in your sink which will wipe off easily. This is because oils float on water. They don't harm your brush.
But if you don't have dry or sensitive skin, they are not going to add much value to your shave and they are unnecessary.
