Somersets Original shaving Oil 35ml by Somersets

Forget messy shaving foam and greasy cream that needs to be rinsed off your face. This oil is marvellous. Five drops on the fingertips, rub lightly on the wet face and you have a lightly lubricated surface for a really good shave. It does not need rinsing after and leaves a fresh, natural aroma – not like the poisonous and artificial smell of many mass-produced creams. One small bottle also lasts for ages.

An excellent shave, no drag or soreness, long lasting, economical in use. I use 4 drops rather than the suggested 3, so I guess it could be even more economical... Over the years I've tried many different brands of shaving oil, but I've settled on this one and now been using it for some 10 years. It's excellent, if a little pricey. Recommended. Hope this helps.

I've been using Somersets oil for over 15 years. It is brilliant. Before I had spent years trying every foam, cream and preshave around. They always left my neck with razor burn. Just using 4 or 5 drops of Somersets oil each morning as I begin to shave and I have never had a problem. The little bottles are great when travelling (good for 40-60 shaves) and this larger one perfect for normal use (4-5 months). I cannot rate them highly enough.

I can't believe I only recently discovering this wonderful product. My brother in law mentioned that he uses this shaving oil when I was boring him about my 'perennial-dry-skin-after-a-shave' problem. I've tried countless shaving foams and gels but none seem to do the trick as well as this oil. The best part is that it is easy to apply, doesn't mess up my basin like shaving foam does and leaves my skin nice and conditioned after my shave (I don't tend to wash my face after a shave). Leaves a nice smell (subjective of course) and one bottle looks like it will last about 4-6 months with three shaves a week. In short, recommended!

Great stuff. Been using Shave Secret for years and decide to go back to Somersets for a change. This large bottle gives great value. Lasts for ages. Scent is excellent. Don't need to use any aftershave products when shaving with oil.

The best wet shaving solution by a country mile. Nothing, and I have tried many, offers as close and as irritation shave If you have a heavy beard and need to shave daily this makes the difference between sore spot or rash prone skin and normal, comfortable and blemish free shaving Lara forever, ideal for travel just all round a first rate product - if you can only wet shave and need to do so regularly there is no product better

I've used a few oils over the years but have always come back to Somersets Original after more than 20 years. It lasts ages and gives a smooth and comfortable shave every time. It doesn't leave an oily feel after shaving. It doesn't smell of anything really - certainly not perfumed (which I can't stand with other oils). I have tried other variations of Somersets, but Original is the best one for me.

This is where Amazon's purchase history really helps validate a product's claims. I bought this product on 9 March, 2014. There have therefore been 276 days since I ordered it, and I have used it every time I've shaved in the meantime (usually not weekends or holidays, but every other day). I reckon I've had 190 shaves out of it, and about a quarter of the bottle is left, so I'm pretty much on target for my 260 shaves out of one bottle. This stuff is great - no foam, no gel, no mess, nothing stuck in your ears - it's a small bottle that's easy to lug around. I'd never go back. Can't recommend it enough. ***Update***: as of April 2016, I am still on the bottle I bought after this one. So they're lasting at least a year each. Olly Buxton

Nichts geht über einen wunderbaren, angenehmen Rasierschaum, wenn man seinen Bart schaben will! Aber: Wenn Sie verreisen, wollen Sie dann wirklich Rasierpinsel und Rasiercreme in den sowieso zu kleinen Kulturbeutel packen? Den Pinsel, der nach der Rasur noch feucht ist und evtl. unangenehm müffelt? Das Somersets-Rasieröl in dem kleinen Fläschchen (35ml) habe ich mir gekauft, um mich auf Reisen problemlos rasieren zu können. Und dafür ist das Öl wunderbar geeignet, wie erste Tests gezeigt haben. Allerdings frage ich mich, ob nicht gute andere Öle von ähnlicher Konsistenz (z.B. Arganöl) für weniger Geld gleiches leisten. Das werde ich bei Gelegenheit mal ausprobieren. Gut gefallen hat mir die liebevolle Verpackung mit diversen kleinen Pröbchen als Goodies in einem kleinen Säckchen. Da merkt man, dass die Verkäuferin eine Frau ist, die ihr Geschäft mit Liebe betreibt.

Super huile, au top !

Kann natürlich nur von mir ausgehen, doch bei meiner ultra-sensiblen Haut ein Wunder, dass es überhaupt etwas am Markt gibt, auf das ich nicht mit den übelsten Hautrötungen reagiere. Die 5 Sterne sind verdient!

Ihc habe Andere ausprobiert und habe nach günstigeren Alternativen gesucht. Das Sommersetöl ist unerreicht. Rasierschaum ist eh keine Alternative mehr.
