This is my first time using a shaving "oil". I did not know what to expect from it. This was the unscented formula from Later and Wood. The oil does have a smell to it, it is very faint. It smells like tree bark has been rubbed on to your face. There are multiple ways to use this oil. First is using it only as a shaving base. I tried this method once to test it out. To me it did not leave a very close shave and with my sensitive skin I had some razor burn from it. Second is to use it in conjunction with a shaving cream. Put the oil on and rub it in a circular motion like the previous. Then use shaving cream on top of the oil once it is rubbed in well. This is supposed to offer the closest shave possible. I don't know that it was any closer then my normal shave. I did not have razor burn using this method though.
On the directions is says for the best results: take a shower then apply the oil to the area in a circular motion making sure to rub the oil in well. I did try it this way, and it created the razor burn I was speaking of earlier. I also tried this with using a wash cloth and a sink of hot water and applied the hot compress to my face then added the oil. It seemed to rub in a lot easier, but with out the shaving cream, again I was left with some razor burns. The biggest and most important thing that this offered was my skin on my face was not nearly as dried out. In the winter I tend to have dry skin on my face and when using this oil, my dry skin was very minimal.
If you have sensitive I recommend not trying this product as a stand alone shaving treatment.
If you have flaking dry skin I strongly recommend adding this to your shaving regiment. It will not get rid of it completely but for me it reduced it by about 80%.
