Perusing the forums I've occasionally come across folks using vegie oil esp olive oil for shaves. Put me in mind of Kramer basting himself with butter. Might give it a shot though. Anybody have experience with Olive (vegie) oil and straight razors? How does it compare to shaving cream/soap?
Unless I'm mistaken, if folks are using vegetable/olive oil it is usually as a preshave as opposed to a shaving cream substitute. Who knows though, I'm sure there are more than a few here who have at least tried it.
BTW - I did see a youtube vid where some guy tried the butter shave. He lathered half his face with foam and the other half was buttered. IIRC the butter shave was thoroughly debunked ;)
One of my favorite soaps is Palmolive soap sticks. Palm - Olive. Two very ancient oils.
