    THANKS!!! i can't wait until it is delivered here & give it a "test" drive.  hey T... how does it compare 2 "shave secret" oil?   shave secret oil is what i currently use underneath my headslick or baldguys shaving gel.

• Warhawk ~  I've used Pacific and Shave Secret -- both alone without any other products.  My current fave is SS, because it seems to offer more lubrication to the blade than Pacific does for me.  SS wins in the price battle, too.  But Pacific is nice stuff.  If the clove scent of SS is a bit much for you, you'll find Pacific more enjoyable to use.   I'm certainly hooked on oils instead of lathers.

  That's interesting.  I actually found the opposite.  I found that Pacific offered a more slick oil than SS.  SS seemed to gunk up my razor more as well.  I'm not saying either of us is right, just that it's interesting that we came to different conclusions.

• I've tried Pacific, but I prefer Total Shaving Solution from All About Shaving. Based on the reviews here on Sly, I'm going to track down and try Shave Secret next.
  
  The Pacific has a very slight sudsiness to it, which I didn't like.

• Hi Tyler -- It is funny just how differently the various potions work for everyone.  I was hooked on Baby Oil for months, and think it gave me a perfect shave -- but it increased my tendency to break out -- it was just too oily.  So I shifted to SS & Pacific.   To me, the SS has a feeling of higher viscosity than Pacific.  I use Atra doubles in my HB and have never had any gunk problem w/ any shave oils.

• I have used PSO for years and have never had a problem. Consistently good (read close) shaves. Recommend it very highly.

• I've been there, and done it. It's a good product. But steer clear of any oil
  during the warmer months when I'm prone to breakouts.

• Gunna give them both a try, I have not used oils and I am interested in experimenting.

  It could be the blades that give us different results.  I use the sensor blades which don't have has much space between them as the atra blades, therefore they are more prone to clogging.

• Well, all this talk about Pacific Shave Oil made me want to try it again.  So I dusted off the Pacific bottle yesterday and gave it another try.  Hmmmm.  I liked it so well I used it again today.  Both extremely close shaves -- definitely as good as I get w/ SS.  I'm liking it now better than I thought!

• hello fellow chrome domes:  i've tried the PACIFIC shaving oil this morning.  i used it under the BALDGUYZ shaving gel.  the  head shave was excellent.  i'm going 2 add this 2 my arsenal.  i plan on switching back & forth with the SS oil.  i always use a shaving oil under the HEADSLICK or BG shaving gel. 
  
  pros:  natural ingredients
            smells gr8 (very light citrus scent)
            very smooooooth shave
           
  
  cons:  it is not sold here in beautiful pensacola
            the price ($6.95) a little pricey compared 2 the SS but definitely worth it
            had 2 purchase it via the internet.
  
  all in all... the PACIFIC shaving oil gave a gr8 shave.  i only wished that it was sold in my area.  if U have any thoughts of trying this product... U won't B disappointed.
