Coconut oil as a pre shave?

make sure it is labeled virgin coconut oil or it can be pore clogging. Only those labeled virgin for coconut oil are ok.

I use grapeseed oil or jojoba oil, both are great and neither one is comedogenic
 
I use Almond Oil from Weleda ( Extraordinary).. and Argan Oil ( sempre Vivo, spain). Both are amazing and almost scent free.
Coconut oil is pretty nice, but should be virgin
 
If you want to use an oil I highly recommend "Shave Secret" easily found at Wal Mart for less than 5 dollars. 3 drops is all you need. This stuff changed my shaves dramatically for the better...
 
I have just started using grapeseed oil as a pre shave. I am also using it after and before bed. Although its a little early to be sure, so far I have had excellent results.

Also, it tastes good.
 
+1 on the above-mentioned alternative oils. I do my own mix--including castor oil, essential oils, and a bit of lanolin and glycerin--which I use as my aftershave. Even if I use a drying soap like Williams, my skin ends up being moisturized and soft.
