Reducing my dependency on oil . . . by Sly Red on 21 Apr, 2009 12:01

No, not for my car, for shaving the dome. I know many are going to be surprised at this. I've been a major proponent of shaving oil since joining this forum. Presently I have five different brands in my bathroom. However, the combination of shaving oil and soap is wreaking havoc on my shower. I have oil slicks of EPA disaster proportions and it is extremely difficult to clean up.
Therefore I’m trying out a product I used before I started shaving my head. Mario Badescu is a New York based spa with a very nice men’s line of products. I’m using the Pre-Shave Conditioner under my regular shaving gel (King of Shaves Magnagel). So far I’ve been very happy with the results. It is completely water soluble so there’s no oil residue all over my shower walls and floor and I'm still getting the smooth irritation-free shave that I had using oil.

Sounds like good stuff Red, I really like the pacific shave oil and was using it religiously but it was clogging the heck out of my HB Triples and it seemed that it wasn't doing what it used to do. I'm using Body Shop Maca shave cream with a pre-scrub like headshed and Im getting cleaner less irritated shaves than I am with oil...Funny.

Thanks ShadowSide, before I settle on an oil alternative I'm going to try another product called Slick Water Pre-Shave Solution by John Allan.

Not sure yet if it is not just another oil. They have a shop in Chicago so I'll go by and see if I can get a sample.
