Thread: shavingsecret

has anyone tried this product?i did use it tonight and i am a little confused.i made a 7 day set which is different brand razor for each day.today was tree brands turn .i used this shavingsecret and shaved.i couldn't believe this blade is soo good or shavingsecret made it is so comfortable.what i do i usually use tabac and love it .i put first shavingsecret on and then tabac .my face always feel a little mint but blade was flying around cutting all the hairs no blood wow.Anyone had experince?

I have some and use it from time to time. It is an excellent product IMHO. I found it during my cartridge and edge gel days about 10 years ago while on detachment. It impressed me so well I spent quite some time trying to find it again. Now it is available at every WalMart.

I have and use it as well, and have had excellent results with it.
I believe it is actually a very simple mixture, probably an inexpensive carrier oil, and some eucalyptis.
I'm very tempted to try to make my own using sweet almond oil, and a little menthol...

I have that one and king of shaves. I think I like king better... hard to say.

Do you follow the nancyboys advice for using their oil, and apply your lather without a brush? They say the brush can negate their oil's effect - i assume it'd be the same for any

I can actually get a fairly decent shave with just the ss oil, but I use a little more than the 3 drops the directions suggest, and usually lather up

i did use 3 drops oneach side of the face and on top of it idid leather with tabac.it was my first time didn't know what will happin.i will try again lets see

To be honest, I've not tried NancyBoy's products although many say they are good. The bottle of ShaveSecret I have makes no reference to lather whatsoever and is a shaving oil vice a "pre-shave" oil. It was designed to be used with water alone, not under lather or any other such. That said, some do.

Unless I am thinking of a different product, but I don't think so.

I also use a little more than 3 drops, but not always. I like the clove scent, and the razor just glides across the stuff once I rewet my face after the oil.

OIC, you are using it as a shave oil. When I use it under lather I wipe rather than brush as the NBs advice for their oil just made sense.
