This may have been mentioned already (work has been crazy for me so my forum reading time is at an all time low ...) but I have been using baby oil for a few weeks now with great results. Before I was using KoS oil and then adding Head Slick on top for an extra smooth shave. I have replaced the KoS oil with baby oil and am getting much better results. I think this due to the following reasons:
(1) KoS shaving oil is a very small bottle so I only use 6-7 drops, while baby oil comes in a huge bottle for the same price and I just splash a teaspoon to tablespoon size amount on there ... so there is much more oil involved and the bottle still lasts longer since it it so big for the $$
(2) Baby oil is intended to be a skin moisterizer for babies I suppose, so not only does it provide extra lubrication for the shave but it also hydrates/protects skin. I have notices my skin is much healthier from using it daily with the shave.
I buy generic baby oil and at the rate I am using it one bottle lasts 1-2 months (and I apply liberally). If you haven't tried it, I recommend giving it a shot. Great stuff O0

thanks for the info x. i have been using the shave secret oil in combination w/ headslick. i had pondered the baby oil thing but was unsure if it might clog the razor. thanks again bro...guess i'll have to try it
-
I'll have to give that a shot. Since I have a newborn in the house, I'm sure we have some baby oil somewhere.
-
After reading this thread, I tried it this morning. Left my dome feelin like a baby's bottom. Thanks for the info.
-
I'm gonna give this a shot in about an hour...I'll let you know.

Fester liked this alot! Used it on my face too in a hot, steamy shower. Lathered on some headslick after I put it on (also on face), let it sit for a minute, and off I went.
Wow...nice and close and smooth...smelled good too. When I got out of the shower I put about 2-3 drops on my hands and applied it to my dome for a nice shine and a great smell.
Thanks Much...Fester

well i have been trying the baby oil for several days now and i'm completely sold on it! i used to get razorburn on the back of my neck, but since i've been using the oil it has COMPLETELY disappeared. i highly recommend this to anyone who is having trouble w/ razor burn or dry skin. it leaves you feeling smooth and very glossy. there really is nothing to lose it cost a buck for big bottle at the dollar store. kudos to X for discovering this...the man is a genius folks!!! ;D

Ok when I was at the drug store the other day and bought some baby oil they also had Baby oil gel.. I was reluctant to buy it since I have never heard of anyone talking about it. Im wondering if this could be used by itself??

I GOT A QUESTION, i asked in another area but still havent got a answer so ill ask it here ! Does ANYONE know if its possible to add like those scented oils into the baby oil, so as to have a scented baby oil ?
-
I dont see why it would be a problem as long as the scent does not irritate the skin
-
THANKS, i figured as long as I'm smearin it on my dome,it might be nice to have some aroma to it

I tried the baby oil, worked well but I really prefer the hot six oil I use under my lather.

WELL GUYZ... I tried mixing the body oils and baby oil AND... well it doesnt want to STAY mixed the BODY oils are mineral base and the baby oil is something else , SO when you pour the body oil into the baby oil bottle it drops like lead to the bottom ! you can shake it up and it WILL kinda mix but gets cloudy and stays that way about 20 minutes and then starts to seperate again slowly. But once its shaken thourghly it works/smells fine. SO, if you can find the body oil than matches your favorite COLOGNE , there ya go ! mix up a batch and try it for your self. YOU should try a travel size babyoil and a small body oil bottle so if you DONT like it , you've only wasted about 3$ also, I save a old VISENE bottle 8) and refilled it with my HEAD POTION #9 (and threw it in my coat pocket ) to keep it handy for the "winter wind dry outs"

I was using Shaving Secret until I decided to try baby oil, the bottle I have is mixed w/ Aloe and other skin softeners. It's cheap, it provides a great shave w/ Headslick, so it's now part of my routine. I'm keeping the shaving secret for travel purposes, it's certainly under the 3 oz. limit for carry on.

Guys I tried this baby oils gel and it was slicker than snot!! This is the way to go for sure. This can be used by itself most def, but is very nice under a nice shave cream
-
I've also been adding the baby oil under my shaving gel and have been satisfied with the results. Although, I normally have an oily scalp, especially in the summer. When it's warmer, I may have to adjust if it is too oily.
-
This was an awesome addition to my routine! I've really enjoyed the results I've gotten from using the baby oil under my normal shave gel. I've been having a lot of issues with red bumps at the nape of my neck for the past couple of months so I was getting very frustrated. Like I said, the results have amazed me! And I'm shinier than ever which is a plus to me. Good suggestion!

Can you buy that at a drugstore or do you have to buy it online?

I always thought using this stuff might be clog up the razor bad. Thought wrong, we had some around the house and used it in the bath earlier instead of my regular oil with my shave lube.
Impressive.
-
WOW, have just tried the baby oil trick, couldn't wait, it is terrific. Thanks for the great tip!

Coz I shaved last night, it was too early to have another shave this morning. I did just apply some baby oil on its own for a touch up though. By itself it does gunk up something rotten. All shave oils have a gunk factor to some degree but this right up there.
Used in conjunction with a shave lube will be the way to go.

After seeing the posts here about baby oil, I went and washed my head w/HeadWash mixed in w/a little bit of baby oil. The results were remarkable!! Made a world of difference to the touch, and the shine is in the omg category!!(LOL).
Can't wait to try it together w/ my shave gel and Glossy HeadLube!
The photo to the left was taken and submitted before I discovered many of the fine products mentioned here. I can only imagine the gloss from the combination efforts of Baby Oil and HeadLube! WOW!! O:O
Great idea, guys! Thanks for the suggestion!! !d3@

Well, I tried it this morning and it did OK but was not as good or close as the Shave Secret shaving oil I have been using. I'll stick to the shaving oil.

Still think it's good but I'm with u. Don't think it's better than good shave oil.

I forgot to use baby oil the other day.Who it is a big difference.My shave was not as smooth.
-
Need to try the baby oil thing
-
got to try this :@` :@` :@`
-
I have been shaving my head since 1990 and only tried Baby Oil in the last few months - on its own - no other product on top.
I can safely state that this has been THE single most important product I have ever tried.
Baby Oil + Gillette Fusion Proglide + St Ives (Invigorating) scrub afterwards = best results in 20 years.
-
Noodles, you tried the baby oil with the HEADLUBE GLOSSY yet, if so what were the results, :@` :@` :@`
-
Have been using the baby oil for just over a week now, in place of my usual kos kintexium shave oil, what can i say, remarkable results, will be using this all the time now, and cheap too 300 mls of johnsons baby oil for a quid at poundland :@` :@` :@`

I need to use Baby Oil on more than just the shave...
...my fiance swears by it as she has used Baby Oil for a long time and we are the same age, but she looks 15 years younger!!!
