I know preshave oil is applied by hand onto the face so I'm not asking about applying the oil using a shaving brush which would make it all greasy and yucky (it's hard enough to get my hands clean after...) although if anyone has any clever suggestions on how to efficiently apply without using hands then I am interested.
My question is if the face has already had pre-shave oil applied around 30 seconds earlier if the subsequent application of shave creme and lathering using a badger brush would cause any damage to the ends of the brush hair as some oil gets transferred from the face onto the brush? I've been 'playing it safe' using a cheapo synthetic brush when oil has already been applied but I don't know if it's really an issue to be concerned about as it would be simpler to just own badger brushes otherwise I would be looking to upgrade my synthetic brush to something nicer.
Any thoughts appreciated, thanks!
