Pacific Shaving Company Natural Shaving Oil - Shaving Oil for Men & Women - Avocado, Sunflower Seed & Vitamin E Oil for Face, Legs, Arms & Full Body - Unisex Beard & Shave Care (0.5 Fl Oz)

Works well, doesn't take a lot, lasts a long time.

I have been wet shaving for about 20 years and like to try out different products from time to time. If I had a bias when trying this product it was probably negative as I really didn't expect much.I followed my normal pre-shave routine, then put 8 drops in my palm, rubbed my palms together and applied the oil to my damp face. It's not really that visible but you can tell where you are getting coverage. With a fresh Derby blade the cushion and glide was fantastic. From the lack of drag I figured there may not have been much cutting going on. After finishing my traditional with the grain pass I was surprised to feel my face and realize it was already a very close, very good shave. For an average day or if in a hurry I would have been happy to stop right there without any further passes.I had also ordered some Pacific Shaving Company Caffeinated Shaving Cream and was anxious to try that. I already had my brush soaking. I re-wet my face and could still feel plenty of oil remaining. I face lathered the cream on my face, over the oil and was rewarded with a shave that can only be described as luxurious.No matter what type of razor you use I believe the shaving oil on it's own could work very, very well for quite a few people. It rinses off easily and doesn't clog the razor like some other oils. For me, if I'm in a hurry or just need a good everyday shave I will have no problem using this oil on it's own. It's also a great size to travel with. For days I want a baby butt smooth shave I will either do two or three passes with just this oil, but more likely will use it in conjunction with a quality cream like the Caffeinated cream for a really nice, really smooth shave.If you are reading this and haven't tried traditional/wet shaving I urge you to give it a try. A quality double edge safety razor can be purchased on Amazon for an extremely reasonable price for something that will last generations. And say good bye to the gimmicky blade cartridge dujour. Quality double edge blades like Derby's can be purchased on Amazon for around $15 for 200. If you used a fresh blade for every shave the savings over cartridges would still be significant, and with good products such as this one you can also enjoy a superior shave that is easier on your skin.

This is a good quality product. All natural ingredients. Not thick, and no residue like some other pre shave oils. It is a little expensive when you look at the price per ounce, but it doesn’t take much.

Pacific Shaving Company's "All Natural Shaving Oil" is an amazing high-quality product. I use it as a "lather" to shave with my electric razor and it is the only product I have found that does not irritate my skin.Here are the top 3 reasons I recommend this product:1) It has no alcohol in it. So it is less likely to irritate your skin. And if for some reason you do have a cut, this will not cause it to burn and turn red - it will probably soothe it.2) It helps your razor to glide and be smooth. I use from 5 - 10 drops each morning for my whole face, and I never get cuts from using this in combination with my electric razor - the cuts just don't happen because the oil is so slick.3) It has a very very light smell of citrus - but that is all. It does not smell like strong chemicals or alcohol. The citrus smell is so light that it does not linger for more than a few minutes as far as I can tell.This is a great product - and I have tried many, including some of the more expensive ones. This one is cheap - it lasts forever, it has a very light but pleasant citrus smell, and it doesn't irritate my skin. Also - if you are worried about this oil clogging up the blades in your electric razor - this has never happened to me. As long as you follow the regular cleaning instructions for your razor you will be fine.*** - - - In Conclusion - - - ***The whole shaving industry is basically a rip-off: big companies trying to get every dollar they can from every poor guy that has to get up in the morning and go to work and shave his face. But this product is a complete anomaly from that. It is good to know that at least one company out there still wants to make good products at good prices. I highly recommend Pacific Shaving Company's Oil!

I bought this based on the ratings.Honestly, I'm not really impressed with this stuff. I like the smell, but that's about all. I actually switched to using virgin/unrefined coconut oil. You can get a big jar for nearly the same price as this tiny bottle of "shaving oil". It goes on a little thicker so there is no blade irritation. It washes away (somewhat) cleanly, doesn't clog my pores, and leaves your skin soft (in a man-ly way!). It also works great as hand/body lotion or a face moisturizer. The stuff is amazing....but this is not a review of the awesome aspects of coconut oil.I didn't feel this shaving oil was thick enough. As a matter of fact, my skin just seemed to absorb it. It felt like I would need to use a quarter of the bottle if I wanted to be able to lightly coat my face/neck. 6-8 drops would do nothing for me.I am, however, glad I bought this. It got me researching "shaving oils" and led me to using the coconut oil I had been cooking with. If you're thinking about buying this, try coconut oil instead.
