This is the best shave oil I've tried so far. I'm using 2 pumps of this to shave my cheeks and neck (I have a goatee), with no other shave cream/gel/foam and am getting a very smooth, very close and more importantly irritation free shave (I use it with a Fusion razor). You do need to use a small amount of cleanser after shaving to remove the bulk of this oil and I use the Triple Benefit Post Shave Remedy afterwards. My face feels ultra soft after use. -- update -- 4 weeks on and I'm still getting the best shave ever using the Smooth Shave Oil. It appears that the 30ml bottle will last me about 6-7 weeks, that's using 2 pumps once per day. Given the quality of the shave I'm getting, it's excellent value. -- update -- 10 weeks on and I'm still using the Smooth Shave Oil and still getting the best shaves ever. I was sent some samples of other brands shave oils but they didn't seem as emolient as this one and I didn't like the smell (the Smooth Shave Oil is fragrance free).
