    Has anyone used Stirling Pre-shave/Beard oil?

    I like their soaps. Wondering how their oil would work for my 'stache.

    Still rocking the handlebar?

    I have never used a pre-shave oil so i cannot be of any help.

    Stirling touts their oil as a pre-shave and beard oil. I stopped using a pre-shave oil years ago. I didn't feel the cost and the time it took to apply (granted, just a few minutes) justified the nominal results I was getting. For those who use and like the results/benefits from a pre-shave oil, it's your shave, enjoy it your way.

    I'm curious about it as a beard oil. I'll probably get it anyway, but was hoping to hear from the TSD denizens.

    Pre-shave oil is one of those things that some of us swear by & others do not find helpful. My husband & I love it. of course, the only way to know for sure is to try some. If you are so inclined, it's not hard to make. There is a thread on this, in Tutorials.

    I've made it in the past. Then I couldn't find the ingredients I was using for small batches.
    The order from Stirling came in today, so I'll slather it on the 'stache tomorrow and see how it goes. I probably contributed to the thread you mention.
    As I said, not big on using a pre-shave oil, but want it as a beard oil.

    I've used it, and made it, in the past. I have found it does nothing for my shaves. Other than gunk up my razors, and accelerate the clogging of my sink.

    Again, not using it as a pre-shave oil, but a beard oil.
    I've used it 3 days. So far, so good.
    I got the sampler of 3 scents: Bay Rum, Stirling Gentleman, Hipster.
