I've switched full time to nothing but oil. I've always struggled with sensitive skin and no anount of prep, hot facecloths, lathering and care could fix it.
Tried using just oil on its own and it was a revelation to me. No irritation, so smooth and close and zero tightness after the shave. Went back and forth between oil and more traditional methods for a couple of months and sadly came to the conclusion that soaps/creams, brushes and lather just don't work for me.
Wanted to give it a while before deciding but have taken the plunge and sold all my brushes and creams etc!
Only my faithful DE and travel
Razor remain.
Huh?
So you just shave with oil?
Yet another thing that had never crossed my mind.
(although given enough time on my hands I am sure I would have tried it at some point)
What oil do you use?
Or is that like saying 'what soap should I use?'
I see olive oil is mentioned here.
Any negatives to it?
