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 prefer shaving oil to shaving foam. It’s not for everyone but definitely worth trying.

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.

Gives a really nice smooth shave without the phaff of foam or gels

Lovely smell. Gives a great close shave. It is now my go to oil.

Exactly as ordered and so, so quickly delivered. Full marks. I was keen to build up a stock of these as Somersets seems to have gone out of business.

Not sure whether this is evidence of an extremely confused marketing strategy, or a distinct reduction in product quality. You decide. I started using Somersets' "Original Shaving Oil Plus" some years ago. As per the marketing, 3-4 drops was sufficient. I then drifted into dry shaving for some years, but came back to wet shaving last year. I continued to use the same bottle but needed to replace it in June of this year. I bought this product: believing it to be the same product (albeit without the "Plus" designation). The bottle was actually labelled "Maximum Glide Original". Same product? Or mis-representation? I now find that it requires at least double the amount to be applied to achieve the same result. However, it makes the same "3 drop" claim as before. So, is this a sign that the Company has lowered the quality of the product? Have they subtly changed the name and applied it to a different formulation? Or is it simply poorly executed marketing? Either way, it's not as good, or economic, as the "Original"

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.
