The oil itself is much more viscous and sticky when first applied than other oils I've tried. This, initially, feels uncomfortable. But, when the razor cuts through the bristles, it does so with ease, and silky smoothness. In short, this is an excellent pre-shave oil lubricant, leading to a fantastic smooth and close shave. Highly recommended.

I have been using Detroit Groomings' preshave oil for many years now and haven't found anything better. I will continue to use it.

I have many pre-shave oils and this is by far the best one. It’s a thick oil that provides the perfect amount of protection between your skin and the blade your using to shave.

Too all Newbies! I wrote a bad review specifically for this product a few months back. I have been using Detroit shave products for 6 years now, razors, blades, brushes, soaps, and aftershave lotions and have been fantastic. I have sensitive skin and shave every 2-3 days,fully. When i first used this product i used just before lathering soap than shaved. Irritated skin and clogged pores, did not like it, felt like putting vegetable oil on and shaving. That was the bad review. Today showered, washed face And put alittle bit on face to soak in, 5 minutes. Washed off, got out than did my usual with soap and shave…. Fantastic, less Knicks or irritation, better shave, doesn't feel clogged. My Bad, but please share this, figured out how to use for me….There is no directions on how to use except for PRE-SHAVE… my experience only!

This oil is useful in my shave. It keeps the face lubed throughout the entire shave with hardly any cuts.
