For me, shave oil has very limited use. I tried it directly on my face and experimented with mixing it with lather. Mixing with soaps kills the soap, you just get a thin useless lather. You can mix it with creams and see if you like it. As for soaps, I like MdC unscented and Klar Seifen. Creams, Casstle Forbes, Speick and Proraso are my favorites so far. If your beard is very heavy, you might consider a pre-shave cream. Proraso makes two that are not expensive and I find effective. I would get an after shave balm. While you are learning you will probably enjoy it soothing qualities. Again, I find Proraso, Speick and Trumper's skin food to be good choices. Have fun and good luck.

thanks guys. i bet you guys have alot of diff. creams and oils while trying to fing what you like
