Love the product, dislike the packaging
-01.16.13
I am a woman using this for my legs. I got this as a sample and loved the pump on the trail size.
When I received the full size product it had a wide opening and the container was glass. That is a double accident ready to happen for me in the shower. I returned the product.
Would buy this again if the packaging improves.

I seriously would not be able to wet-shave without this product. My skin is so sensitive that regular shave creams alone leave my face all torn up. I use this with their shave cream and it works wonders.

Bought this for my boyfriend and he loves it
-04.15.12
Bought this for my boyfriend and he loves it. Puts it on before shaving his face and prevent any razor bumps. His face is just perfectly silky smooth :) Originally lavendar sounded kind of girly to me, but it ended up being the best smell out of them all and my boyfriend liked it too. Great product.

great pre-shave oil

Quick Take: acne treating, improves shaving, skin-softening
My fiance really loves this pre-shave oil. This product is a thick and somewhat sticky oil that you rub into your beard before shaving which softens the skin and makes shaving more pleasant. It also helps you avoid in grown hairs. The oil also has a pine smell to it, which my fiance really liked.

Quick Take: acne treating, improves shaving, skin-softening
Bought this for my boyfriend and it has improved the closeness of his shave and hasn't had a acne breakout since he has been using it. Again, with this product, a little goes a long way and last a long time.

Quick Take: improves shaving
I was introduced to this through a YouTube video clip. Using this with A of S's full product line and a double edge razor has solved all of my shaving challenges. I actually enjoy shaving now. Good job Art of Shaving and thank you Sephora for having a store nearby.

Helps with razor burn
-06.25.11
Quick Take: improves shaving
Helps with skin irritation but doesn't allow as close of a shave (which is fine with me). Clogs up the razor as well; harder to clear out between strokes.

Art of Shaving Pre Shave Oil
-05.28.11
Quick Take: improves shaving, skin-softening
My husband discovered Art of Shaving in Chicago and really likes the product. However due to Art of Shaving not being open in Detroit yet we were grateful to Sephora for being able to help but did not have the lemon oil. So as it was desperately needed for a gift I went with Lavender and he was just as impressed. He enjoys the way it makes his skin feel and that the fragrance is not as strong as he first thought it would be.

One of the best...
-03.08.11
Quick Take: improves shaving
This is one of the best pre-shave oils on the market. It only takes a small drop to cover your whole beard and it provides excellent protection from blade burn. The only caution is a little goes a long way, too much oil and your blades dull quickly.

The Best Shave Oil Ever!
-01.14.11
Quick Take: improves shaving, skin-softening, soothing, makes razor glide easily on the skin
My boyfriend has a very thick, coarse beard; also sensitive skin. He's tried every product out there for shaving. Until using A of S, he would get a mediocre shave - and ALWAYS red bumps with irritation.
I saw a TV show and this line of products was featured. I figured, what the heck and purchased them. My BF always gets a smooth shave with no bumps. His face is SO smooth to the touch after using this! I think the entire line is best used together, but if one product is to be chosen it is the pre-shave oil for sure! I even use it to shave my bikini area and no more red bumps for me either and my skin is baby smooth! It gives you the best shave ever.
