I’d just like to say that those shaving oils are rubbish. I got a little bottle of the King of Shaves oil (it’s only like a quarter of an ounce or something) to take away travelling, cos it’s a whole lot lighter than a big can of gel or foam. To judge from their adverts, you’d think it was revolutionary stuff - well it simply doesn’t work. At all. Plus it makes the stubble stick to the razor so it doesn’t rinse off properly.
I haven’t even read the rest of the posts yet, but after reading this I felt compelled to post - VEET IS RUBBISH! IT DOESN’T WORK! I ended up shaving my legs after using it.
I use a shaving mug soap and a brush. Much better than shaving cream.
Also, the brushes aren’t made out of horsehair anymore so they don’t rot when left wet, which is why shaving cream became so popular.
