Somersets Shaving Oil 35ml

I came across the original Somersets shaving oil in a Boots shop in the early 90's when I was travelling extensively throughout Eastern Europe on business. First I loved the small size due to the travelling. Then I fell in love with great shaves, never have gone back to foam. Then Somersets disappeared from Boots, and my travelling took me further afield.At the time I had to go to another brand, which whilst it done the job, was not as good. I now live and work in China, I could believe it when I found this on Amazon. Even better they deliver to China.This version shaves better than the original oil and has no clogging of the razor blades. Sometimes the small but important things make the start to the day, better

I bought this oil as my favourite - a French brand - became too expensive. It has taken a bit of getting used to: I find it does not adequately protect dry skin, nor does the recommended wetting of the face work for me. After the shower, however, and leaving the product on the skin for at least 30 seconds before shaving, it works really well: the shaver glides over the skin providing a close and smooth shave.

I was looking for a quality shaving oil having tired of paying fifteen pounds a pop for clinique foam. Somersets had vanished from my local Boots two years ago so I assumed they'd gone under. Delighted to find this product is still produced. It delivers a close and comfortable shave at an affordable price. Seven weeks in, I still have half a bottle left. Very good price and service from superfoods. Will be ordering again soon.

Shave oil tends to be one of those things left un noticed in the mach 400 blade mega gel market we have now, which is a shame. This one is excellent, it smells nice and leaves your face feeling fresh but not oily after use. I use it as a kind of primer before shave soap, and it seems to really help with burn.

Delivery was superb, product smelt very strong from the bottle reassuring medicinal & natural. Once applied a wonderful cooling feeling was felt followed by the best and closest of shaves. I use a DE blade and can honestly say, no more soap, cream or gel! This is the way forward! Fabulous product.

This is a great product and would have had 5 stars but for price which is quite expensive. I use a Phillishave electric razor and the difference in ease of shaving and the shaved skin has to be experienced to be believed.

This product really changed my view on shaving. My skin is so sensitive that I had to use foam even with an electric razor. Now I have considerably less pain and I feel the freshness for hours.

I allways use this before electric shavingMake beard stand up and feels really nice after
