Bought some yesterday at Walmart. Will try it out this AM. I like the smell of the oils.

Very nice. I'm just trimming the 'edges' right now ... but the result was much smoother than just Head Slick or traditional foam shave cream. Mixed Head Slick with the Shave Secret as some have suggested. A very little goes a very long way. (on both head slick and shave secret).

Been thinking about trying this for my face. Does it give a closer shave than gels? And how is shaving against the grain with it?

I've only done this one day and I'm not fully shaving my head yet, just the temple area and about an inch up in the back. But everything felt very smooth ... more so than with out the oil (shave secret). And for less than $4 for a bottle and you use only 3 drops per day .... it's pretty inexpensive.

Sure it works on the face very good...just follow the directions and put the oil on first and then your gel and you'll get a good shave. There are other light oils that work well too. -

I have read so many good reviews about this product that I ordered a bottle yesterday online from their website. They offered me free overseas shipping which is great for those of us on the other side of the 'pond'.
I'm a sink shaver after a hot shower. Before leaving the shower i rub some baby oil on my dome, than apply shave gel or sometimes the Headslick (I'm not really that much of a fan of the HS but I still have a bottle to go thru).
With the Shave Secret, would you recommend to also add some cream, gel, Headslick...or is it enough to just apply the SS. I will eventually try different scenarios but would be good to see what your experiences are

I apply the SS and rub it all over, then rub on some gel...Bald Guyz or Head Slick and then start mowing with my electric or cutting with my Fusion. You're right, try different ways to find out what you like...good luck.

I've only been using the shave secret for a few days. Add 3 drops to a small mount of head slick. Mix them together and apply. Seems to result in smoother skin that just head slick by itself.

Yes i just started doing that and it makes it even better and adds even more protection.. i add just a few drops of secret shave, rub it in real good, then i add the regular shaving gel cream, then go at the shaving, for me it has been the smoothest shave i have ever had

I used it today on my face (shaved down from beard to Van Dyke) and it left the face real smooth...It did okay on the head but not exactly anything to write home about...I used four drops each for both head and face. Nice aftersmell, BTW

Can you get off base to a Walmart? They should have it or can order it. -

I posted a few days ago that I just bought the SS online. It finally arrived and here's my little review, using it alone and together with my regular shave gel, always applied on my wet dome exiting the shower
- Using only SS I took 9 drops instead of the 4 or 5. It was enough, you can rewet with water whenever you feel your skin is too dry or you want to make another pass. I got a very good and close shave
- I achieved the same result with my shaving gel applied on top of the SS. It glided just a little better, but the closeness was identical. Instead of 9 drops I used 4-5 as SS recommends
SS definetely works and I'm glad I tried it. It will be part of my routine for sure. I guess I will be using it together with my shave gel when shaving at home, when travelling I might only take my little bottle of SS with me. We'll see
If you are considering giving it a try I would say go for it -
