Bechet45 said:You speak of ''pre-shave oils', gazza, but your link goes to shave oils and there are no pre-shave oils in his shop.
So here's the question, is there difference between pre-shave oil and shave oil? And if so, what is the difference? They do very different jobs so as an ex-engineer, I would expect different properties - however, in the commercial world .......... Do they do only what it says on the tin or can you swap them with impunity?

I will attempt to swap them and see what happens.
UKRob said:Our very own Village Barber says that his oil is suitable as both a pre-shave and for use on it's own.
gazza said:Ive been using a home made mix of Olive oil/glycerin and tea tree oil as a pre shave oil as I have quite dry skin and find it quite effective.
I also use Glycerin for another hobby and this particular ebay seller supplies top quality at a good price.
I noticed that they also have a range of self blended preshave oils, so for £14/250ml I thought Id have a punt at the "luxury" mix, because I'm worth it

I'm a bit dubious about Bio-oil. The principal base oil is liquid parrafin. I just don't see mineral oil being good for the skin.

I laughed out loud when I read that and almost spat coffee all over my keyboard!
Sorry that you had a bad shave.
Have you tried hair conditioner as a pre-shave?
I've found that since I've made the shift to face lathering, I no longer need p.s.o.
At last a saving from this wonderfully expensive hobby!
