Product reviews of Truefitt & Hill Ultimate Comfort Pre-Shave Oil, 2 oz.
Review: There are better oils for less money.
Beauty product: 2 Stars
If you want a great shave, if you want that "I just got a facial in my own bathroom and am prepared to face the world" feeling that you get from a great shave, then you've got to use a pre-shave oil. You get a closer shave, which if you're shaving with a safety razor as opposed to a cartridge, that matters. It's also just generally good for the skin. If you want a serious grooming routine, use an oil.
Don't use this one.
It feels like so much less than I wanted it to be. Truefitt makes some great shaving creams and I generally believe in what they do, but this is a phoned in product.
The oils aren't very rich, and the reviewer who said that it smelled less like citrus and more like lemon juice is right. It smells like RealLemon and isn't much thicker than water. It doesn't work into the beard well, and it doesn't have the same sort of luxurious effect to it that other oils have.
Aiden Gill makes a product that's cheaper and richer. The Art of Shaving pre-shave oil also has a thicker consistency and you get their amazing scents to boot.
There's lots of good oils out there that serve the purpose and have an impact on the quality of your shave. This one doesn't, and at this price, it's unacceptable.

Review: This stuff works.

I've tried shaving with and without this pre-shave oil a few times, and can confirm that it really does make a difference. For less irritation and a smoother shave, just work a few drops into your face after showering and before shaving. I would estimate that 2 oz can last > 6 months with daily use.

Review: loved it
Beauty product: 5 Stars
some people say pre shave oil isnt necessary. that might be true but I really loved this one.
the scent is citric (like tangerine, orange etc) which I enjoy very much.
it helps me have a better shave and saves my skin from irritation.
price is hi but what they say is true "a little goes a long way"
