REN Tamanu High Glide Shaving Oil

I have used a number of shaving oils inmy time and this is one of the better ones. It's easy to apply and generally gives fair protection with multi-blade razors.

The downs sides are

Cost - it's quite expensive

Fragrance - it's distinctive (though it doesn't linger so only really an issues whist actually shaving)

Pump - the product is dispensed via a pump which is difficult to start and difficult to control the amount dispensed.

However, even withthe downside, the key purpose works well, and it's what I use day to day.

REN Tamanu High Glide Shave Oil is a great product. You can really feel it protect the skin, and it really helps the razor (Gillette MP3 only), glide over my skin. The only problem is that I have tough growth, REN on its own is OK for the cheeks, but for my chin and throat, I find it it best to mix it with Sanex shaving gel, which is really good at giving a close shave, especially if like me, you have to shave against the grain to get a close shave that will last more than a few hours.

However, if you feel you do not have tough growth, then REN is great on its own. It is expensive compared to other shaving gels/creams, but it works.
