Shaving Oil
Shaving Oil is a fantastic alternative or accompaniment to your creams, gels, foams and soaps.
It is literally an essential oil - usually plant based - which has brilliant glide-enabling properties that are perfectly suited for sliding a razor blade across your skin.
How To Use it?
You have basically two main ways to use it: On it's own, or as a base to a cream or gel. The great thing about it is that you hardly need any of it. A tiny little bottle can give you up to 100 uses!
Whichever way you choose to use it, you need to apply it to wet prepared skin (before you apply anything else).
Wet your hands and face, and dab a few drops onto one hand. Rub your hands together and using circular motions rub into your facial hair. A few drops is all you need - one of the biggest mistakes people make is using way too much.
Where to Get it?
This is a product that is rapidly growing in popularity around the world and it is now readily available at many stores and supermarkets. A brilliant range is also available online with prices to suit everyone - view Shaving Oil Products here.
Benefits
There are loads of benefits over other lubricants, here are but a few:
- Less Razor Burn
This is due to greatly increased lubrication which stops skin irritation. Follow the link to read more about Razor Burn.
- Visibility
Unlike when using cream or gel, you can see the hairs on your face before you cut them. This is great for styling facial hair as you can see what you are doing. Pruning around the sides of your beard or moustache becomes a lot easier.
- Moisturising
As it sits on your face, your skin gets moisturised so it has the double benefit of lubrication and moisturisation.
- Lubrication
Your skin is protected from accidental nicks and cuts because the razor can easily glide along without any bumps in the road.
- Environmental Benefits
Large benefits to the environment like smaller container so there is less packaging and transportation cost, little to no harmful chemical contents, and less landfill for the empty container. Many brands are made from all-natural ingredients.
- Doesn't Clog Pores
Your pores do not get clogged up when compared to using other products.
- Cost Effective
A lower cost for a comparable amount of uses make this a cost-effective product to use as an alternative to creams and gels. Although the overall cost will increase if you use as a base for creams and gels, since you are buying both.
- Travels Well
With the paranoid world of travelling there is a carry-on luggage restriction of 100ml bottles and no aerosols. A small bottle of shaving oil can be as little as 1 fluid ounce (30 ml) so you can easily travel with this in your bag without any trouble.
