Natural Shaving Oil: Cedarwood Sandalwood Patchouli & Lemon 250ml

This stuff is fantastic. The smell is out of this world. It reminds me of when I used to sit in the barbers 40 years ago whilst my grandad got his hair cut! I tried the oil on the day it arrived. I bought a traditional razor (and waited until the shaving oil arrived before I used it). I had approximately 2 weeks growth on my face - and didn't trim it before I used the razor. I massaged several drops of oil onto my beard, and then applied shaving foam. I got an incredibly close shave and not a single cut or graze (this is the first time I've used a traditional razor, so not a bad effort!). I washed my face, and reapplied a few more drops of oil and massaged it in. I usually suffer badly with shaving rash. I have sensitive skin, and when the stubble starts breaking through, I come out in a painful rash 24-48 hours afterwards, which can sometimes get infected. I've applied the shaving oil twice a day since Sunday morning and there's not a rash in sight! The oil definitely helps to keep your skin soft, allowing the stubble to grow without any discomfort. I had a Turkish shave on holiday, and decided to see if I could replicate the experience at home using a traditional razor and shaving oil. I'm still using shaving foam out of convenience, but I will be oiling my face pre-shave and post-shave from now on - using this oil! The price is very reasonable for the amount of oil you receive, and it should last a long time. However, the main attraction has to be the smell. It is a very traditional and pleasant scent. The overriding scent is sandalwood, and it lasts for a few hours. I've had lots of compliments at work with people thinking it's aftershave... Very good value, it does what it's supposed to - and smells beautiful. Perfect!

As a bald man, I always used to use King of Shaves oil, but it got way too expensive. £4 for a tiny little bottle. I shave my head 3 times a week, so the bottles barely lasted a month. I decided to see if there were any cheaper alternatives and I found this. WOW! this is absolutely amazing stuff. I use a Gillette pro glide when shaving my head, and this oil not only smells incredible, but it enables the razor to glide over my head with ease, with no irritation. I always use oil on my head instead of foam and gel as it gives you the closest shave possible. The size of the bottle for the price is just exceptional - I estimate it'll last me about a year, which will save me some £££. I wish I had found this product a few years earlier! I obviously use this oil on my face to shave as well, and it's incredible. I couldn't recommend it highly enough. Don't hesitate - give this product a go. You will not regret it!

Does the job - nice slick shave. I combined it with King C Gillette clear gel and even a Fusion 5 slides like it is on ice. I was disappointed by the fragrance though. Nothing wrong with the smell, but the strength. A number of reviewers talked it up as being amazing. I don't really know how to explain their reviews, unless the formula has changed since they reviewed it. I found the fragrance quite hard to detect.

I've been really impressed with this natural shaving oil the past couple of weeks. It provides excellent lubrication, allowing the razor to glide smoothly over the skin while reducing nicks, razor burn, and irritation. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts much longer than expected. Overall, it's a high-quality product that delivers a smooth shave while being gentle on the skin. I would definitely recommend it and will be purchasing it again especially at such great value for money.

Not heavily scented and a little quantity was used for a good electric shave. Very smooth when rubbed into the face prior to shaving. One of the best lotions I’ve used.

Better than any shaving Foam/Gel/Soap I have used before and gives a good close shave leaving your skin moist and smooth.Also you can use a couple of drops as moisturiser after shaving.

I bought this oil because I had previously bought an organic oil which came in a tiny bottle and was comparatively expensive. This stuff looked like better value - quantity wise. It feels thin and where they advertise it as Cedarwood, Sandalwood and Patchouli it is mostly carrier oil of Grape-seed and Jojoba oils, I think. It feels thinner than the organic one I had and it does not have much scent, which suggests to me that there is not much of the headline oils in it. No percentage of contents on the label!! There was no instruction of how much to use or what to do with it. You are left to your own best guess or trial and error. Having said all that it was quite ok with my electric shaver and I got a decent shave. However, my face was aware I had shaved after with slight razor burn which I had not experienced with the organic, more expensive, oil. At the price and quantity this is ok but nothing to rave about. I don't like that their label does not give any company information! Update 28/06/13: since writing the above review I have had problems with my electric razor as it seems to clog with the oil! I have therefore returned to wet shaving with a traditional triple blade system. To be honest and to my surprise this oil is pretty good with a wet blade. I get a very good shave with it. My above comments still stand and for that reason I regret that I cannot increase my star rating although I would like to!! I think I might buy it again if I can't find an organic one at a sensible price.

I like an oil, especially at the gym if I want to shave. This one smells good and you get plenty of it, unlike some other brands with tiny bottles. Easy to use but not sure if I am using too much, maybe 5 or 6 drops, but the blade can get clogged and it is hard to get it out in the shower, need a hot tap directly on it. If I rinse after each stroke it is manageable with the clog and it gives a nice glide to the razor. No need to reapply if you want to go back over to ensure you get every bit of stubble. Skin feels good afterwards with the oil soaking in Would happily buy again when it runs out but does seem to be lasting for ages, which is a good thing

Dieses Rasieröl wird von mir hauptsächlich als "Post Shave Moisturizer" - also nach der Rasur - genutzt. Es ist wie erwartet recht dünnflüssig, sehr sparsam und dringt gut in die Haut ein. Die verwendeten Öle sind allesamt sehr hochwertig und beruhigen gereizte Haut. Auch nach der Rasur. Leider duftet es kaum nach Cedern- oder Sandelholz, ist aber der "Sauberkeit" der Komposition ohne künstliche Duftstoffe geschuldet. Wer es jedoch als Rasieröl verwendet und sowieso AfterShave verwendet, erhält hier ein kaum duftendes, jedoch sehr hochwertiges Öl zu einem fairen Preis.

Me gusta su textura , fácil aplicación sobre la piel y su aroma. Da muy buenos resultados para no irritar la piel en el afeitado.

Bon rapport qualité prix. Je recommande l'achat de ce produit. L'odeur qui émane du flacon est un peu forte les premiers jours, même lorsque l'on ne s'en sert pas. Huile très pratique, ne laisse pas la peau du visage ou des doigts avec une sensation huileuse ou graisseuse. Se rince facilement. Je l'ai utilisé avec de la mousse à raser classique en bombe et le résultat est que mon rasoir jetable à glissé plus facilement! Le produit laisse une sensation agréable sur la peau fraîchement rasée, comme une protection.

le bec verseur est très utile pour doser. L'huile fait le travail et je me rase très facilement avec. Idéal pour les peaux sensibles. j'ai testé pas mal de choses (mousse, gel,etc...) et souvent feu de barbe mais pas avec de l'huile de rasage. Vous trouverez tous les prix pour les huiles de rasage, celle ci fonctionne bien pour moi et n'est pas la plus chère ;-)

Das Öl ist super zum Rasieren mit einem Rasiermesser. Ich nutze es, um die Konturen meines Bartes in Form zu halten. Dank der durchsichtigen Flüssigkeit wird der Bart nicht verdeckt und das Rasieren fällt leichter. Das Messer gleitet gut über die eingeölte Haut, die Rasur ist sanft. Gleichzeitig beruhigt und pflegt das Öl die Haut. Nach der Rasur trage ich noch etwas Öl auf, um die Haut zu beruhigen und Rasierbrand vorzubeugen. Das Öl besteht ausschließlich aus natürlichen Inhaltsstoffen: Traubenkernöl, Jojobaöl, ätherisches Lavendelöl und Vitamin E. Der Geruch des Öls ist sehr angenehm, es riecht gut nach Lavendel, jedoch nicht zu stark. Mir gefällt der Geruch sehr gut. Wer ein natürliches Produkt für eine angenehme Rasur sucht, ist hier richtig. Das Öl kommt in einer farblosen Flasche mit Pumpspender. Der Pumpspender macht einen hochwertigen Eindruck, das Dosieren funktioniert gut.
