I heard good stuff about shaving oils, and tried a few, but I finally tried Shave Secret (as found at my local Meijer store), and I can give up trying others, because this is the stuff!
It’s almost magical in how well it works, especially since it feels like it really shouldn’t work: to use it, you wet your face well, then rub just three drops of this stuff between your hands, and apply it to your face… and it feels like you didn’t even put anything on your hands, and there’s no way this is going to work… and then you get the smoothest, closest shave ever, and your skin feels super smooth all day from it. I’ve always had trouble with my neck especially, because my neck hair grows flat and sideways, but with this stuff on the job, no problem.
Because there’s no mass of soapy emulsifier like with other products, it’s harder to rinse the razor during shaving, I have to tap it on the side of the sink, and when I’m done I use an old toothbrush to really clean out the blades before I dry it and put it away (I use this method to get months out of each Schick Slim Twin disposable: https://imgur.com/gallery/u84HGGn).
If you get irritated skin from shaving, or want a closer shave, I recommend trying this.
