- Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2013The oil is excellent, especially when it comes to covering sensitive and troublesome shaving areas. The razor glides over any trouble spots making each shave a pleasure. The scent is excellent and does not take much to get good coverage on the face, and makes shaving a piece of cake. I am rarely one who ever nicks myself shaving anyway but I sound this especially helpful when doing my second pass going lightly against the grain for that extra smoothness. My skin does not get irritated in the slightest nor does it break out. I will not shave ever again without this product.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2023I have been religious using Old Taylor shaving cream for the last several years and thought I would give this a try. The oil is very thick and sticks to your beard well. The thing that I notice is as your blade gets a little duller there is less pull on your face when using this . Seems like I get a few more shaves out of each blade. I do have one nit to pick. I shave in the shower, as do many guys. This is in a really smooth’ glass bottle with a smooth black screw on lid. When you hands are wet and soapy in the shower my fear is because of how smooth it is and how slippery my hands are- there might be a time that I could drop this on the tile of my shower and have broken glass to walk on. I am nearsighted as well and between steam, water running, white tile and clear glass it could be a challenge. A plastic squeeze bottle with a flip lid would solve the problem. Not as elegant perhaps, but certainly safer.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2011This is an excellent product for shaving. My husband shaves his head as well as his face, and this pre-shave oil provides a smooth and moist surface for the razor, which reduces greatly the incidence of nicks and cuts. It also leaves behind a pleasant scent of sandalwood which is decidedly masculine and appealing. Also recommend the after-shave balm from the same company.
The only negative comment my husband has is that it can gum up the razor a bit if not properly rinsed with hot water.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2016Pre-shave oils are debated by enthusiasts -- some love them, some don't see the point, and some like them but think anything other than homemade is a ripoff.
What does a pre-shave oil do? The usual explanation is that it serves as a skin moisturizer, not as a shaving lubricant. So, you put a couple of drops in your hand and work it in to your skin and give it a minute or so to absorb before you start your normal shaving routine. If your skin is greasy you've put on too much.
Do they work? Reports vary. I use a straight edge and I find pre-shave oils help me with my shave but they are not the most important step (having wet hair and well lathered face matter more). But my skin isn't very dry so maybe they will do more good for you than for me.
Are they worth the price? This is where it gets tricky. The ingredients in most pre-shaves are pretty simple -- as good oil or oil mix for skin conditioning (e.g. 2 parts castor + 1 part olive) and a non-skin-irritating scent. For the price of a single ounce of Taylor of Old Bond you could probably make yourself a half gallon. But oils go rancid so unless you can split with a lot of "shaving buddies" I'm not sure you'll save that much in the long run.
The Taylor of Old Bond pre-shave smells nice and a couple of drops will probably work for most people. Still, I doubt you'll get more than a few months for a bottle so it comes down to how much you wish to spend on shaving. If you are shave with one of those expensive multi-bladed disposable monstrosities you may not notice the extra 20 cents or so per day this will add. If you use a straight razor or a dual edge safety blade you may think differently.
Anyway, I really like Taylor of Old Bond Street products and I like their pre-shave oil -- it smells great and a couple of drops do a nice job. But it's expensive; in my opinion, silly expensive.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2014After making the transition to the safety style razor, I knew there would be a bit of a learning curve given that I've predominantly shaved a majority of my life with 4 or 5 blade razors. This, used with Taylor's Sandalwood Shaving Cream, is now one of my favorite shaving products. Shaving my neck especially usually results in a mild bloodbath, and as a hemophiliac, every cut and nick with a blade tends to hang around for a good long while. My suggestion is start by using it sparingly, focusing more on trouble spots. This pre-shave oil gave me the best shave I've had, even with a safety razor and blade which had been dulled by a few shaves already. Yet another wonderful product from Taylor of Old Bond Street. A very wise investment for the sensitive-faced shavers of the world.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2018I purchased this because I bought it initially in-person at a store in Utah. I loved the scent and it was a quality oil. However, the mail order version doesn't seem to be of the same caliber and the scent isn't as long lasting.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2018I hate shaving and would love to grow a beard. However my job requires me to shave everyday. So i enjoy making the most of it and use only the best. Taylor of Old Bond Street makes the best shave products that I have had and their pre-shave is no exception. The only other brand that is this good is Floyd pre-shave oil. these product will help raise the stubble, provide a close shave, prevent razor burn and just maybe make you a little manlier.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2024So most pre shave oils I’ve used are like using an oil. This “oil” is super thick and gels to almost anything it touches. I required multiple handwashings with hot water and soap to get it off my hands. That said, when combined with my shaving soap, Proraso Green, it gave the smoothest shave I think I’ve ever had. I think next time I’ll wear some nitrile gloves to apply it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mitigé
Je suis fan absolu de la marque
TOBS. Je possède beaucoup de produits de rasage de la marque ou d’accessoires.
J’ai voulu testé ce produit que l’on trouve assez rarement chez les spécialistes du rasage à l ancienne en France.
Ici après plusieurs tests je suis mitigé dans le sens ou le produit faire bien son travail mais son positionnement me semble assez flou ...
Qu’entend-t-on ici par « aromathérapie » ???
J’avoue ne pas bien comprendre car si sa senteur n’est pas désagréable, ici elle est a la fois très (trop?) légère et ... curieuse: ni désagréable , ni envoûtante ...
Je ne recommanderai pas mais cela me permettra d’avoir une alternative supplémentaire le matin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Taylor of Old Bond Street Pre-Shave Oil, 30 Gram
Husbands Review: I use an aggressive razor and this shaving oil was a life changer! It has a medium consistency and is scented. I was unsure about the scent at first but after rinsing it is so mild that it is unnoticeable... razor burn and neck rash are now a thing of the past, I would buy again.
