The dindi oil is marketed as a post shave oil however, it works great as a pre shave oil. It soaks in rapidly and gets the skin ready for the shave. Just 3-4 drops is plenty!

The scent is excellent. Starts off with a bit of citrus and then the woody scents come through. Fantastic stuff!!

Pre: Pb PSE
Soap: Razorock XXX
Brush: Omega 10083
Razor: Eclipse Red Ring
Blade: Polsilver (1)
AS: Pimento Silk
Not a fan of the Razorock Soap at all hence the 12 month+ in between uses to let the memory fade. It functions fine just with a mortein scent.
Ultra efficient shave with the Eclipse/Polsilver this morning. A little blood but BBS.
@Mark1966 , how do you manage the Eclipse with blade movement when seated? I couldn't remember having to adjust the blade to centralise but checked with a Permasharp and it was the same.

This soap smells divine! However, it does cause a fairly strong tingle on the upper lip area.
