Why should I use pre-shave oil?

Well what pre-shave oil does is coats your skin and coats your hair. So what that does is by coating your skin, it's creating a little shield and a layer of protection over your skin so there's never a direct contact between your skin and your razor. That right there cuts off half of the irritation you could have in shaving, because you have that protection right there and that's really important. The other thing that the pre-shave oil does, it coats every single hair, so it allows the razor to glide on easily, so you have less friction and therefore a much better cut of the hair.
