King of Shaves Advanced Sensitive Shaving Oil For Men With Handy Pump, For A Close and Comfortable Shave, Shave Oil For Men, 2x30ml

Great product and repeat purchase

As it’s a shaving balm I use it to improve my shaves

Great stuff ,used it for the last years never had a problem.keeps my skin good.

Received on time. Excellent product, been using for years. Easy to obtain by Amazon.

I bought this for use with a shaver. To be specific, I use the Panasonic Arc 3 ES-LT6N. It works well for that use-case scenario. It provides a layer of lubrication so the shaver's head can glide more easily over the skin. It's particularly good after a shower. My whiskers are softened up nicely and I hardly feel any resistance or hear the typical crunching sounds of hairs being cut. Any decent shaving cream could get you a similar result, I suppose, but this product has the added advantage of allowing you to see what you're doing. I find that the closeness is a bit better compared to no product at all, again, specially after a shower (your face doesn't need to be still wet). I haven't experienced any irritation or allergies. I do get some ingrown hairs, but that happens to me with any product or shaving method I've tried. I'm not very good at describing smells, but to me it has a light earthy/herby fragrance. It's closer to some beard oils I've used than to a typical perfume or eau de cologne. It's inoffensive and a good option if you don't like strong fragrances or if you'll be using a strong aftershave because they won't clash.Since it is an oil, it is obviously oily so the hair clippings tend to lump together and stick to the cutters. It's not too bad, but you will need to clean your shaver more thoroughly more often. Simply rinsing under the tap will not remove all the gunk.I did also try it once with a Gillette Mach3 since it says it can be used with a standard razor without any shaving cream. Mind you, I stopped using traditional blades on a regular basis years ago so I'm out of practice and the razor I had laying around might not have been the sharpest, but the results were pretty bad. I didn't get hurt, but the razor hardly seemed to be cutting any hairs. As I said, I'm not the best person to ask when it comes to traditional wet shaving, but I figured I'd share my experience.In conclusion, I'm happy with the results when using an electric shaver and I'd recommend it for that use-case scenario. As for traditional wet shaving - I'm not convinced you can get by without using foam or gell as well.

Does exactly what it should: provides a good close shave, both wet and electric. A shame it comes in plastic bottles. But I will buy it again because the others I’ve tried are even more wasteful.

Great product

It's hard to find on supermarkets' and chemists' shelves.
