I was never a "razor" kind of guy (whether electric or manual) as using them would wreak havoc on my face. In the past, I would suffer a plethora of unsightly ingrown hairs and razor burn by the morning following a shave, so I was reduced to using hair trimmers to keep facial hair at bay. Being a military member and spending many days and nights in places with no or inconsistent electricity available, I became determined to figure out how to make razors work. After a year or so of research, consults, trials-and-error experiments, hours in front of mirrors, purchase/use of a variety of tweezers, etc., I finally found a system and products that produced decent results, caused manageable suffering, and required bearable effort without the need for electricity. After recent discover of popular, marketed shaving system that boasts of great results, I decided to implement some of its techniques and incorporate a priming (or pre-shave) oil into my regimen. My previous regimen consisted of a shave oil (alternative to shave cream), 2 skin conditioners and a moisturizer designed to reduce/eliminate ingrown hairs, and a mixture of organic oils as a daily skin conditioner/restorer. Normally I will have a few ingrown hairs by day 2 of shaving and they continue to increase until I remove them all and stop shaving for at least 2 days. After incorporating this pre-shave oil into my regimen, I have yet to see an ingrown hair after 5 days of use. I'll provide an update if anything changes, but for now...I am VERY PLEASED with this product!!!Read full review

I've been using Shave Secret for years but decided to give The Art of Shaving Sandalwood Shaving Oil a try as reviews were good and the cost per oz was less expensive than Shave Secret. The oil is much thicker than Shave Secret and I found that I need to apply with wet hands to dilute it a bit to get good coverage on my my face without using a ton. To dispense the oil, you have to pour it from the glass bottle and have to be careful not to dispense too much. I think I'll try transferring some of the Sandalwood oil to the Shave Secret (or other squeeze bottle) to dispense it how I prefer. Other than the dispensing issue, I really like the oil. In my opinion, the Sandalwood scent is much better than Shave Secret and applies nicely if diluted with wet hands. I would definitely buy again. Read full review

The product does a great job of reducing facial irritation & redness! It brings back memories of shopping trips my late father & I made to our local malls to visit the chain's boutique stores to regularly purchase the product. Now I get the same pleasure of getting this product from the comfort of my home & at a discounted price!

After doing some extensive online research about all of the possible choices for guys with sensitive skin, I decided to give this one a try. I had read nothing but great things on it, so I was excited about making a purchase. After using this product 3 times, I can honestly say that I don't see or feel any difference in the quality of shave that I am getting. I did not break out from the product, which is a big plus, being that I have sensitive skin, but to me this was too oily and greasy and my razor that I had been using for many years did not glide through my beard smoothly at all. I had to make several passes with my razor to get it to cut properly. I really wanted to love this product because of all the great reviews as previously mentioned, but I get a much closer, better all around shave without this oil. Maybe this is just not for me. Others may benefit from it wellRead full review
