I've had bad experiences with shaving oil. It broke the lather down on the surface of my skin and I ended up with razor burn following its use. This could potentially be attributed to the use of too much oil but the experiences put me off. I only use the Proraso pre-shave now although I have enjoyed a Rasozero pre-shave that was kindly given to me by @RussellR5555

Immediately usable, doesn't hog (get it?) the lather, super soft (so soft it's like cashmere) from the off and didn't...www.theshavingroom.co.uk

The P&B Iceni Soap and balm and soap dish were from a Secret Santa. The Iceni splash and B&M soaps were from family - aided by me though. Aided being 'I've bought the following for me, you owe me X'That le grande looks interesting what smell is it? Did you write a list or did family know what to buy? Good haul!
That's where I got it from. Great minds and all that... many thanks MarkBeat me to it. Was just about to post this:

Shavings oils, what are the current views, with cream or soap use the oil before you shave (hours before in some cases).
Makes sense, thanks for clarifying.It's more of an "either/or" question, they're not supposed to be mixed together (and what would the point be anyway?).
I've tried a bunch of oils back in the day, the one that works consistently is the American Crew Ultra Gliding Shave Oil - had good results with injectors and mild-ish DEs, and a somewhat decent result with Feather SS.
The shave is not nearly as comfortable or enjoyable as with a brush and soap - but perfect if you're on a road and can only bring bare essentials.
