 Easier to 'Roll your own'Jun 25, 2006
By John Quinn

This is Castor Oil and Olive oil. The purpose of a preshave is to soften heavy beards for a closer and more comfy shave. This can be achieved for a fraction of the price with the following ingredients:
Castor oil - This is the emollient (beard softener)
Olive Oil - This is the surfactant(allows the oils to 'cling' to your face)
Lavender Oil - This is used as a scent and anti-friction and anti-burn oil.
The first are available from your supermarket and the latter from your pharmacist.
Mix them as follows:
For 2 1/2 spoonfuls of castor oil add one spoonful of Olive Oil, then add one drop of lavander oil.
Depending on your skin type and beard growth, you may not even need a shaving cream with this, and you can buy a nice bottle at your local gift shop (i got a 100ml blue one with a glass stopper for six bucks). Should work out at around two bucks for 50 ml and it works a treat.
Finished shaving? then use the above as an after shave balm (skin calmer), again works great!!

 Won't shave without it anymoreDec 21, 2008
By lramos98
I love this product. I never used preshave oil before, just the standard gel shaving cream from gillete and i'll have to say i missing out on a closer and more comfortable shave. Really a great product,,,and sure i've read plenty of do-it-yourselfers here post reviews about how cheaper it can be if you make the oil yourself. But the same can be true for anything like changing your motor oil, sneaking in popcorn at the movies, bringing your own slice of cheese when ordering a regular hamburger, but personally i'd rather pay a little more for convenience, i've got plenty of other everyday things to worry about than trying to save a little chump change here and there.

 DO NOT BUY THISMar 26, 2006
By c. joseph
AOS is notorious for overcharging for their products. it is simply castor oil, olive oil and essential oil fragrance. the best mix is 2:1 castor to olive oil. you can throw in another :1 of canola oil if you like. you'll need a bit of EO to mask the slight scent if you don't like the oil scent. this can be bought for about $10 a bottle on ebay or a local health store and it will last a long time.

Makes a world of difference!Sep 29, 2005
By Timothy Bergman
I was skeptical at first. "If the shave cream protects my face, what do I need oil for?" But after trying i'll have to eat my words. This oil is a necessity!! It transforms your shave. Rinses clean and doesnt harm complexion. Took off one star 'cause its pricey, but at twice the cost I would still buy it.

Forget what the other people said.This stuff is greatSep 17, 2006
By sean richard
"sean richard"
you guys say this stuff is way over priced but if you look at the fact that castor oil and olive oil is not cheap when you get into the all natural high quality stuff and maybe you did not know but pure high quality lavender oil can cost you $30-50 for a 5ml bottle . Spending $22 in a all ready mixed bottle is not that bad.If you want quality stuff you have to pay for it and as far as I can tell the Art of shaving line is one of the highest quality lines around.I say if you care about your skin and your shave get this stuff
