I was skeptical when I first ordered this product. I always used a this, light, face cream under my shaving soap to help for a smooth shave. The first time I tried Alonso's Shave Oil I was impressed: no pulling, no razor burn, nothing. Now, couple that with a new blade and I got the smoothest shave I have ever had. Just stocked up with 3 more bottles. Fantastic product, prompt shipping and great value
