Last year I started buying my husband shave oil from The Honest Company. When I gave him his first bottle he said, “What is shave oil?” and I said, “………”
I knew it was meant for shaving (obviously) and so did he, but I think what he was really asking is how it works and why he should let go of his beloved shaving cream and give this a try, instead.
So I did a little research to better understand what shave oil is and how it actually works. What I have learned is based only on Honest Company products and I can’t offer any comments on other brands, simply because this is all we have tried.
If you want to learn more about Honest Company and why I’m such a big fan of the company, check out my extensive list of reviews of Honest Company.
Shave oil is basically a blend of organic botanicals and oils that lubricates the skin so that you can get a very close, smooth shave without dulling your blade. The ingredients are also designed to help prevent irritation caused by the razor, and to soothe the skin.
My husband said that ditching the foam took a little getting used to (sort of like making the switch to more natural shampoos and losing all those suds) but that he has been really pleased with the quality of his shaves and with how his blade is responding. I haven’t noticed razor burn on him since he switched to this shave oil, either.
He also commented that he is surprised by how little of the product he needs. I’m honestly relieved to hear that, because the bottle is only 2.2 ounces big, and the retail price is almost $16. But he uses the same bottle for a few months before needing a new one. He would go through his bottles of shaving cream at a much faster rate.
Best Shave Oil at the Best Price
This is most definitely an item that you should purchase in a bundle at Honest Company (you get to select from a HUGE number of items…any 5 for just $35.95). The per item cost when you do a bundle is just $7.20, so you save quite a bit on this item! It’s one of the very best deals in the bundle option, so I typically pick one up every other time I place a bundle, and now my husband has 3 extra so he’ll be good for over a year. 🙂
