I love the stuff and I use it religiously, it makes my shaves way easier and I can shave day to day without zero irritation...I'm gonna buy one of the big bottles as soon as I run out of the little stuff.

WOW, - in the 1/2 oz packs that comes to $222.40 a pound!  But a real "bargain" in the 2 ounce bottles,  only $183.60 a pound!   With out shipping added, of course.   
That stuff must really be some super stuff for that cost!
And I thought Carmex was really expensive.  (Carmex junkie here)

I use just good ol' Neutrogena light Sesame Body oil.  Works well, smells good, can use it on the body too,  wife uses it, so  I started using it a couple years ago.  It never clogs a Headblade or any of the Mach 3s or Turbos.  And at about $12 to $13 for a 12 ounce bottle, at real bargain, comparatively speaking.

And it's great for those evening back, and body rubs the wife is so fond of.  Hummmm, me too.

Actually its fairly cheap, a little tiny 1/2 ounce bottle lasts a long time.
1/2 ounce bottle : single $ 6.95
                           : 3 pack $ 20.00
                           : 6 pack $ 39.00
                           : 12 pack $ 75.00

2 ounce bottle : single $ 22.95
                        : 3 pack $ 66.00
                        : 6 pack $ 124.00

Like SS said, it lasts a LONG time!  As shaving oils go, Pacific Shaving makes my favorite.  I'm now interested in trying out the shave cream.

I'll cast my vote for PSO. I buy the 3 pack and it lasts forever.

Tyler, there headquarters is 45 minutes away from us...we should bother them for a couple cans of there cream for a review and for the record, Pacific shaving oil makes the best shaving product I've ever used, being that I have a tough beard that can literally break a blade on and really sensitive skin its makes it a joy to actually shave.

I'll contact them and see if we can get a tour.  For some reason I thought they were in Oregon.

For those of you who use this along with a shaving cream (e.g. HeadSlick) ... can you please explain why do you do that?  Less irritation?  Closer shave?  Fewer bumps?  All of the above?  And do you wait X minutes after applying the oil (before you using shaving cream) or do you immediately then put shaving cream on?

I'm continuing to look for the perfect combination and am just curious as to why I'd effectively double-up on products before shaving.  I'm pretty happy with my current setup (Parker 86R, HeadShed, HeadSlick) but it could always be improved and I do consistently fight bumps at my hairline.  Thanks for any feedback.

Thanks for the review warhawk.   I only use headslick but all the comments on oils have me interested.

Hream : All of the above, no need to wait, Pacific shave works great as a standalone.
