While I haven’t used any pre-shave oils, it does make sense to use it ‘after’ the whiskers have been softened with the hot damp towel.
My old barber (who went to Barber School in 1945) didn’t use a pre-shave but did apply lather, then the hot towel, then re-lather and shave me. he told me that the hot towel and the 1st lather removed any body oil and then the second towel softened the whiskers.
I stumbled onto this video; I found it very interesting as the guy explains as he goes. He also touches on the sensitive skin issue quite often. It never hurts to hear and see someone else s methods.
Sorry about the AD at the start!

I’ve never tried the cold water shave, but I always use cold water to rinse with, I find it very refreshing!!! My good friend pinklather swears by it! Well at least he used to! hehehe
Hang in there! No matter how long any of us have been shaving with a straight there’s always something to learn!!!
ps. For $80 for the 'package' I'd damn well better be pampered!! The last time I got a barber's shave and a haircut it came to $10! Opps! Showing my age again!! Oh well at least I don't remember when a shave and hair cut was two bits!! (Oh, that's 25 cents for you young whipper snappers)
