Baby Oil?

I read in an article the other day that baby oil is supposed to be
an excellent alternative to shaving cream/gel.

It's supposed to provide excellent gliding (of the blade) and when you're done
and wash it off you also don't need to apply any after-shave products or creams.
According to the article, baby oil is a better lubricant (for shaving) than most
common shaving creams and gels and you get considerably less irritation and/or nicks.

I'm curious, have any of you tried this before?

I'm going to try it myself this week, and I shall let you know how it went.

I found an article on shaving your head with baby oil.  Here's snippit of the article:


--- Quote ---You use baby oil in the same way as most shaving oils: after thoroughly wetting the skin surface, put 4 or 5 drops of baby oil in your hand with a tiny bit of water, and rub it in to your skin. You only need a small amount of baby oil to be effective; if you use too much, it will tend to clog your razor very quickly, and it won't provide any additional benefit. Once you've thoroughly rubbed it in, shave normally

Awesome review Harry!  Thanks!  I posted it in the Blog as well.

I have used baby oil in the past. I think it works fine. I have also used olive oil which I like better.

However, in my opinion the absolute best product for shaving your head is hair conditioner. Wet your head ans apply no more than a dime size or less dab of condtioner and rub it into the stubble, then shave. I do not need to use anything else
