Ideally used before applying the Gentlemen’s Tonic Traditional Shave Cream, the Pre Shave Oil acts as an additional protective barrier between the skin and the razor blade, allowing for a smoother and closer shave whilst lifting the beard. The Pre Shave Oil should especially be used by anyone that is prone to razor burns or sensitivity when shaving.Containing Black Sesame Oil, which is one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants that also helps to protect the skin against razor burn, as well as Grape and Sunflower Seed Oils, which are both high in Vitamin E and also helps the body’s natural defence against illness and infection, this pre shave oil is light, easily absorbed and non-sticky.
