shave with oil by blackbaldman19 on 18 Nov, 2011 15:18

i saw in a store in the shave/razor department & somethin caught my eye. it was "Shaving Oil".
Directions said wet your head, and use 3 to 5 drops, & shave your head.
does anybody on here shave with oil?

Were you at Walmart by any chance? They have a product called Shave Secret that I and many others here use. It's fantastic. I use it as a pre-shave oil. After scrubbing my head in the shower ( I use Gillette Thermal Face Scrub) I put a few drops in my hands and rub it into my head. I then apply shaving cream and I'm good to go. It works excellent and allows for a smooth shave with zero irritation. Give it a try.
One other thing I forgot if you're looking for another brand to try. I've used the pre-shave oil from The Art of Shaving and it was also fantastic. More expensive than Shave Secret, but a little goes a long way. -

I use Shave Secret too. I first put some (not much!) Head Slick on a shaving brush, put a couple of drops of the Shave Secret on top of the Slick, then work up a lather on my dome. Results in a real smooth shave.

I'd stick to shaving cream.
I'm the guy that makes a routine and stricks to it. I hate people trying to change my plans! -

I used to use only oil to shave my dome but quit due to extreme clogging of the razor. I even only used olive oil from our kitchen. It worked great, the razor glides smoothly over your dome plus you see where you're shaving.
Nowadays I use Baby Oil, it's way cheaper than the Shave Secret Stuff, you get a large bottle for next to nothing. I have it in the shower, rub a few drops just before exiting the shower and then on top shaving gel. Works great -

i've always heard baby oil reduces irritation, but clogs your razor. i haven't personally tried it out. -

i've just finished shaving with the "shave secret". i was VERY impressed. possibly the BEST shave i've had since i started shaving.
i prewashed my head.
i got my head wet
applied 3 to 5 drops like it says.
shaved like normal.
& i didn't bleed NOT 1 TIME.
I'm instantly HOOKED.
after that, i cold rinse, put some aloe vera & bump stopper. & i'm done.
on a scale from 1 to 5. i'd give it a 4.5/5

Excellent! Glad you liked it.
This morning I used Shave Secret with Bald Guyz Gel and shaved my head and face with my Panasonic. -
