Anthony Logistics For Men Pre-Shave Oil

If you have a man's beard, this is a great product. If you take a day or two off from shaving like I do on the weekends, this pre-shave oil prevents that inevitable nick-fest which follows the 1st shave back.

I use a shave-cream brush and geo trumper cream with either a Merkur straight razor or a Gillette Mach 3 Turbo (50/50 depending on how long I have to shave). The pre-shave oil works great with either razor.

You just place a nickel sized amount in your palm, rub hands together and apply to your face before you lather up with shaving cream. Wait a minute and be amazed at how your blade glides through that 3 day stubble. I am still blown away by how good this is.

It would get a 5 star rating, but $18 for 2 oz of oil is a bit of a rip. If you use this once a week, expect the jar to last 2-3 months.

I have heard many people say that it is a rip off to buy pre shave oil and that it is easy to make on your own. I dont have the time or the desire to make my own oil to save a few bucks.

I have used both the Anthony brand and the Art of Shaving and prefer Anthoy for the main reason is the scent is very mild and not over powering like the The Art of Shaving. You only use about a nickle size each shave rub it all over your beard apply shave cream. What comes next is one of the closest shaves you will ever get with a cheap razor. My wife always admires my shave after I have shaved with shave oil.

The cons are the oil is sticky and you really have to make sure that you dont spill it all over. It also really sticks to your razor blade and you will go thru razors quicker.

The plus is that your shave will be so close that you can skip a day or two shaving.
