Viking Revolution Sandalwood Pre-Shave Oil for Men - Smooth, Irritation-Free Shave, 1 Fl Oz - All Skin Types

Regardless of bad reviews stating it does not work, that is the same as shaving cream, well is not! I have a problem if I shave in less than 3 days, bumps, irritation etc. I use Gillette Mach 3, tried others but for me this is the best. I tried all kind of brands of shaving gel, cream, soaps etc. I use a brush to apply the warm shaving gel, still the same issue. I used the Viking Revolution Pre Shave Oil after wetting my face with a warm rag, put enough to make it slippery and definitely wash my hands really good to remove the oil prior to shaving. Use shaving cream on top of the oil, what a difference!. No feeling of scratching from my blade. I can get a closer shave because it runs smooth. After the first shave I applied again shaving gel (no need to re oil) and at this point I had a really close shave, lucky me no bumps, no irritation at all! When I finish shaving I just rinsed with water, no need to remove the oil as it does not feel oily at this point, just feels soft. Maybe because I did not try to wash my face with soap after shaving to remove the oil because I did not feel any oily residue on my face and may be help with me not getting irritation and bumps. So those reviews about "my hands been oily", well, naturally use soap to remove it from your hands before shaving, the reviews about it is the same as shaving cream, well no it is not, it is a complement if you know how to use it. About the smell, it has a light barely noticeable wooden smell, not like cooking oil, not like any nasty oil. I am glad that I bought it regardless of some bad reviews I read. Nevertheless we are not all alike; something that may work for me may not work for others, that's why I decided to try it out. Recomendad 100%

Wow this is not a premier brand it's certainly a solid one. This was a great user experience. I've researched all the ingredients too because I was going to make my own. This is well made, the ingredients are supportive of skin care routine that's good for sensitive skin and most importantly it works! Just look in the mirror when you're done and you can see the hairs raised ready for an easier shaving experience. You don't need to use a lot either a few squirts in the palm of your hand and you're good to go.

A small amount goes a long way so don't over use. Reasonably priced as compared to other brands. Gives a very smooth shave with no irritation or razor burn. Not overpowering, clean scent but could be a bit longer lasting.

Yea, I have written a few reviews before. Never give 5 stars. But this Sandalwood Pre-Shave Oil? Hah manni gôt zê carrie boutch!!! Bought it to add to my straight razor shave routine. 1st The scent: Outstanding. Sandalwood Baby! That's why I ordered it. 4 stars. Secondly, it's sooo sheer. My skin loves it. Also 4 stars. Finally-The thickness? Perfect! Again_ 4 Stars. So why the 5th star in the overall rating? Glad you asked. After the arrival of the product, I received an email directly from the seller asking if I got the product ok. Then I got an email from Viking Revolution asking if I was happy with it. I had received it, and yes, I was very happy with it. However I disregarded the requests because I am a bit of a curmudgeon (hey breathe normally over there, you already know I like sandalwood, but you are surprised that I am becoming my grandfather?) What changed was I received a 3rd email from them through Amazon. This message was from "Beau" and it was asking for a review. It was worded perfectly! I felt that this company truly wanted me to be satisfied with their product. They make great Sandalwood scented men's products and they seemed to truly care that I knew that they appreciated my business. Well I feel ya Beau! I appreciate you guys. That was what was missing. That email made the difference! 5 STARS BUDDY! There you go! Ordering some Sandalwood Aftershave right now. Keep up the great men's personal care products. NEVER stop the great CUSTOMER CONTACT!

Well. I'm reluctant to give this five stars because I don't really value using this product. I think it's of good quality, nice smell and I think it may benefit my skin. But it's not something I would have used in the past so I am still on the fence about it. As a full-bearded man I always regarded shaving as an unnecessary chore that men do because they don't think about the silliness and futility of having a hairless face. I would scrape away a bit of my neck and cheeks and be done with it for a day or so. I never used moisturizers and such because I didn't have time for it or interest in it. Of course, now in my 70s I look every bit of it. A young man may want to do the things I didn't. Okay then, try this sandalwood oil, I think you would like it. The Sandalwood reminds me a bit of an old love's perfume, which isn't problematic but I don't really want to be reminded of her every time I shave. And I hope my wife doesn't read this review. <wink>
