Review: American Crew Lubricating Shave Oil

Along with American Crew's Moisturizing Shave Cream that I reviewed in yesterday's post, I also got a bottle of the company's Lubricating Shave Oil to check out. It seemed like such a small bottle when I first got it, but now I realize that you can get by with only using a little bit per shave.

I used it both alone and as a pre-shave (under the shave cream), and to be honest, I didn't really think it was necessary to use under another cream. The box does say that it counters razor bumps, ingrown hairs, and nicks, so if you have issues with those, then it may pay to use it underneath a cream. It worked awesome all by itself though, and my skin felt great afterward.

The Lubricating Shave Oil has a really great cinnamon scent, along with a host of other herbal oils that make for a very pleasing sensation on the skin. It's got both rosemary and clove extracts for their astringent cleansing properties, and 10 other oils to moisturize and soothe the skin. One caveat with the oil: be very careful when applying it around your nose and lips, as it can feel pretty hot if it's on those tender surfaces.

If you want a light shave oil that leaves your skin tingling, pick up some American Crew Lubricating Shave Oil. You won't regret it.

[Update: Ask for it exclusively at professional salons, as product at other outlets may not be genuine. Try the Salon Locater.]
