Why use shaving oils over soap or gel?

So why use shaving oils over soap or gels?

Well the main answer is that continous shaving with soaps and gels can dry your skin out.  As a woman I find my legs are dry and flaky after using soap or shower gel .

Yes, I could add a moisturiser but then again its one more thing to do and sometimes adding cream onto the newly shaven area can leave a rash. I started using shaving oil some time ago and realised that once I had shaved my legs my skin was smooth and soft.

 As we offer shaving oils for all skin types these are made with Sweet almond oil and Jojoba oil for suppleness Essential oils are selected depending on skin type but of course these can be used by men and women. Our shaving oil for dry skin is Sandalwood shaving oil. If you have oily skin try Cedarwood shaving oil or a more feminine citrus blend for women of Citrus Zing shaving oil.  For normal skin we have Peppermint fresh shaving oil which is a refreshing clean aroma.

If you are wishing to use a shaving oil for a hollywood or bikini shave then the Soothing Lavender shaving oil  is ideal.

To use a shaving oil just rinse the area with warm water and rub in a few drops of shaving oil until the area is lubricated and then shave as normal (not using an electric razor but blades) Once the area has been shaved rinse again with warm water and you are done.  Do not wash afterwards with soap or shower gel as you will then not benefit from the oils benefits.

Testers are also available
