Best Pre-Shave Oil, Sandalwood, Premium Shaving Oil for Effortless Smooth Irritation-free Shave. 2 Oz …

I am new to DE shaving and recently purchased the Lather and Wood Pre-Shave Oil and After-Shave Balm.At first I wasn't quite sure what to expect with the product and I was in such a rush to try it out I didn't even think to read the instructions on how to properly apply the oil. I ended up adding the oil to a dry face and lathered on my shave cream with a dry boar brush... I would not recommend either. Let's just say my first shave with a DE blade was a little underwhelming.However, after reading a little and watching some videos on YouTube it became much better.The bottle has instructions on it which, if read, lead to a great pre-shave setup. Lightly wet your face with warm water and apply a small amount of oil to your hands and work into your beard making sure to cover every area in which you plan on shaving. Lather up and shave!This oil has been great. The container and pump are exceptional and it gives out jus enough oil per pump for a good clean shave without worrying about using too much or wasting it. Once applied, it allows the blade to smoothly glove over your beard without any tugging or pulling. It is not too thick and will not clog up your blade. The oil does a great job in lasting through multiple passes as well.My two favorite things about this oil are the fact that it is unscented, and it's quality. Lather and Wood uses high quality ingredients which is evident in the quality of the shave one will get using their products.When using this pre-shave oil I do not have to worry about any razor burn or ingrown hairs. I have shaved with and without this pre-shave oil with a single pass and with multiple passes and every time I use Lather and Wood's pre-shave oil my shave is much better.I was contacted by Lather and Wood after my purchase to check with my satisfaction with their product. It's very clear that Lather and Wood cares about their product and the experience their customers have with it. Phenomenal customer service. Another reason I will continue to be use their products and recommend them.I highly recommend this product and will be keeping it as a part of my regular shaving routine and will encourage my friends and family to add it to theirs!

A couple of years ago I was in Las Vegas attending CES. During a rare occurrence of some down time, I roamed the Shops at Caeasr's and stumbled upon a well-known "artsy" shave store. Well, on impulse I paid way too much for a bottle of after shave from said shop. One of the perks, however, was that I received a few free samples of their shave oil...I'd never used shave oil before, but recently was gifted a nice badger hair brush, a shaving mug and some nice soap. Why not try shaving oil as well? I quickly went through the samples and was impressed by how much better my shave was.Fast forward to a few weeks ago. I hadn't actually bought any shaving oil from the artsy shaving store, but wanted to give it another shot. Knowing how much I'd paid for the cologne, I started looking around for something that had great reviews, but without the added cost. That brought me to Lather & Wood. And let me tell you, I couldn't be happier.First, the sandalwood scent is pleasing but not overpowering. Next, the oil is not too...oily. It washes off well, but holds my shaving soap perfectly. My safety razor -- I use the one my dad used, so it's probably 70 years old -- glides over my face. And the shave itself? Flawless. PLUS my skin is so much smoother when I'm done. Later & Wood is easily as good as what I could have gotten from that other place, but it's probably half the cost. I like to pamper myself, but I'm not willing to spend a fortune to do it. Later & Wood fits the bill, giving me a great, smooth and burn-free shave without breaking the bank. Plus the sandalwood scent lingers just long enough...I honestly couldn't have chosen better.

I am a daily shaver and my routine is shave immediately after brushing, and I use a Gillette or Nivea Shaving gel and use the Gillette razors.I landed on this product when I was searching on a after shave product. I bought their after shave lotion and will be writing a separate review on it.Been using it for more than a week before I wanted to write a review. Getting the reminder from the Lather & wood shaving company on this.Oil Only:Pumped a couple of pumps of the oil and applied it on face and left it for 5 minutes and the sandal wood aromotherapy is nice.The shave was smooth and the razor glided smoothly and got a good shave but nothing special to mention on shaving experience itself. (Not much of a difference using the gel). One thing worth mention is the post shave left me moisturised compared to gel alone.I have used Castor oil and when compared to castor oil shave this is not close, But the blade is clean when compared to castor oil.Post shave the sandal wood smell still lingersOil + GelSame applied the oil 5 minutes before shave and massaged face. After 5 minutes appplied the gel and lathered my face and started shaving. Again the shave was smooth and the razor glided smoothly and got a good shave but nothing special to mention on shaving experience itself. (Not much of a difference using the gel only).Post shaveWorth mention is the post shave left me moisturised compared to gel alone. Even after the shower the oil smoothness still is present. The sandalwood smell weans off post shower. The blde is much cleaner than oil alone.The bristle comes up next day, so it is not a real real clean shave like using the shaving knifes/blades.
