I’ve been struggling with irritation and razor burn lately, and I’m looking for a pre-shave oil that’s gentle on sensitive skin. Anyone have recommendations? I’ve heard mixed things about The Art of Shaving and Dermalure.
If you’re considering alternatives beyond The Art of Shaving and Dermalure, Lovett’s Sundries offers a smooth, non-greasy option that’s been a game-changer for some users. For a DIY approach, mixing grapeseed and castor oil can be cost-effective and customizable for your skin’s needs. Experimenting with application timing—letting it absorb for a full minute—can also make a big difference.
Since Isaac45 already covered Lovett’s Sundries and DIY options, another angle to consider is the hydration factor. Some pre-shave oils, like Dermalure, are specifically formulated to hydrate skin up to 50 times more, which can be a game-changer for sensitive skin prone to irritation. Additionally, while The Art of Shaving is premium, its clinically proven formula might be worth the investment if your skin reacts poorly to other products. If you’re open to experimenting, glycerin-based options or even Proraso’s pre-shave cream, which is often praised for its ease of use, could be worth exploring.
