Easier to 'Roll your own'
This is Castor Oil and Olive oil. The purpose of a preshave is to soften heavy beards for a closer and more comfy shave. This can be achieved for a fraction of the price with the following ingredients:

Castor oil - This is the emollient (beard softener)
Olive Oil - This is the surfactant(allows the oils to 'cling' to your face)
Lavender Oil - This is used as a scent and anti-friction and anti-burn oil.

The first are available from your supermarket and the latter from your pharmacist.

Mix them as follows:

For 2 1/2 spoonfuls of castor oil add one spoonful of Olive Oil, then add one drop of lavander oil.

Depending on your skin type and beard growth, you may not even need a shaving cream with this, and you can buy a nice bottle at your local gift shop (i got a 100ml blue one with a glass stopper for six bucks). Should work out at around two bucks for 50 ml and it works a treat.

Finished shaving? then use the above as an after shave balm (skin calmer), again works great!!

Makes a world of difference!
I was skeptical at first. "If the shave cream protects my face, what do I need oil for?" But after trying i'll have to eat my words. This oil is a necessity!! It transforms your shave. Rinses clean and doesnt harm complexion. Took off one star 'cause its pricey, but at twice the cost I would still buy it.
