OK, I picked up a bottle at Wal Mart today.  Just got out of the shower; here's my $0.02.

I friggin' LOVE this stuff!

I planned to use it under some cream, but decided to try it alone, per the instructions.  Using 9 drops and a new Schick Quatro 4 blade I proceeded to shave.

Incredible!  No more cream; this is my new oil! 

Thanks for this thread and the recommendations!

Congrats, Stoots! It is nice to have whether alone, or combined with your favorite gel/cream/shaving soap.

This stuff is really good but I don't recommend using it alone like the bottle says.  Didn't work very well alone for me.

10-12 drops is what I use and then I apply shaving cream over the top of it.

Much smoother shave with this product but keep it away from the eyes, it can irritate them

It is good stuff, but in a pinch you can use most any light oil. One member uses coconut oil. I tried it and liked it, but I was hungry all day. Good luck!

I only use it on my face. (Only because I'm happy with my HB products on my head and had issues with my face shave I wanted to try to get over)

I found it worked for me both alone or under my shave cream.  I do prefer using it then the shave cream over top (I use 4 drops)
I also use 2 drops after I finish shaving instead of an after shave. I find this helps with some irritation I get on my chin/neck area.

Shave secret really isn't a secret.  I have used it many times over the past 15 years.  It is awesome when you don't have all your stuff with you on a trip and you don't want to spend a fortune on supplies.  I did not care for it as a daily use item, but like I said in my travels it really helps.
Don't Panic!

Just ordered some of this. Best to use on own or apply first then apply shave gel/cream/soap?

Either way--I've peeled the peach with just SS--but personally I like it cover with Headslick, applied with a brush.  A great travel accessory--it doesn't take any serious room in the one quart bag for TSA inspection and the bottle has never leaked.
