Still Shaving the Old-Fashioned Way?

Your usual foam or gel takes up more room, makes it harder to see where you’re shaving and needs replacing more often. De Facto does things differently. It’s time to move with the times and make the switch to De Facto Shaving Oil.

Very effective. Maybe consider a different fragrance as the oily smell could be a bit overpowering for some. A very effective product at the same time.

Been using it for years.. Great product. It has more than one use. One night last year my wife and I checked into our hotel in Barcelona in the early hours of the morning nice hotel lovely room. Problem was Bathroom door squeaked loudly. Being of an age when Bathroom call during the night is a given. We were tired not liking our chances of getting a maintenance person at that hour. I had a brainwave. Shaving OIL , put two drops of Oil on each of the three Hinges. Swung door too and fro a few times and bingo Squeak gone and we got a sound night's sleep thanks to De Facto Shaving Oil.

Having sensitive skin, can't imagine imagine myself shaving with any other product, for some years now. Also, it's a all-in-one, nothing more required.
