Item Description
A while back, in a search for a good pre-shave oil, I found this. I searched for a review here on B&B for it, but couldn't turn one up, which was surprising. If I missed one, please forgive me.
When this came, and I looked at the tiny little bottle, I wondered what the heck I'd spent $30 for! On first examination, I figured it might last me a few weeks. But now, perhaps 6 weeks later, using it 2/3 of the time as my pre-shave, I was wrong. When ClassicShaving recommended using an amount about the size of a dime, they were right. That's absolutely all that you need to use. It softens a beard very well, and is recommended by T&H for those times when you don't have adequate time to properly prepare your beard. I'd say that they're spot-on with this recommendation. At $15 per ounce, though I might have once rated this a 1 or 2 on price, in 6 weeks of nearly daily use, I'm just down past the neck of the bottle in what I've used. On certain days, I'll even use this twice, in-between passes and latherings. The fragrance is very nice; an essence of citrus. It lubricates extremely well, and is very easily rinsed out of a DE or off of a straight. This stuff does what it's supposed it do, does it very well, and is honestly economical - something that surprises me, frankly. Wonderfully moisturizing too! Recommended.
