Thanked: 17King Of Shaves Shaving Oil Report
Had a small bottle (aren't they all?) of "King of Shaves" Shaving Oil I have had for a while, and decided to try it this morning.
They claim on the bottle, that you can shave with just this oil!! (ya - riiiight!) or use it as a pre/undershave, which I did. A few drops - maybe 6 or so, rubbed into the wetted beard after the shower.
I put some ClassicShaving Citrus soap over the top with my brush. I used the Perlmann (which I am now convinced was mfg'd by TI), because I had just honed it, and used the green .50 Hand American paste on it for the first time, then stropped it up good.
Well, I was pleasantly surprised! I had no hopes, but the shave was *very* easy and smooth, and I will try this oil again! (Of course, the now frightfully sharp razor helped! LOL!) I foget how much I paid for it - a few bucks $5 - $6? I got it at CVS - a big pharmacy chain here. Not bad!!! Can't really compare to the Cremo Cream as an underlayer, but truly did make for a smoother, easier shave!
My only concern would be its effects on the badger brush, and whether it will gunk that up - don't know.
On a scale of 1 - 10, a really solid 8!
