I was looking for something on the bottom shelf at Wal-Mart a couple of weeks ago and saw a small bottle of some kind of shaving oil called Shave Secret. Less than $3 so I figured, 'what the heck?' and picked up a bottle. I found the bottle yesterday and figured I'd give it a try. I wanted to try it with the DE (Slim cranked down to '4') before I tried it with a straight. Did my normal hot water splash prep and followed the directions. 5 drops in the palm and rub it in. It really didn't feel all that slick but I gave it a go anyway. The razor slid through the beard like glass! Wow. One WTG pass, another splash of water followed by an XTG pass and I was done. 95% BBS. Didn't need an AS either. The only negative, and I guess that it's the same with any oil, is the cleanup afterward. With soap, a good hot rinse and you're done. This required quite a bit more rinsing to get all the gunk out. This stuff just earned a place in my travel bag.
Haven't tried it with a straight yet. Has anybody used it with a straight?
