Pacific Shaving Company

I recently had the opportunity to review a couple of products from the Pacific Shaving Company thanks to the Family Review Network—All Natural Shaving Oil and Nick Stick.

According to the Pacific Shaving Company website, the “All Natural Shaving Oil™ offers a consistently smooth shave, reduces nicks and razor burn, and leaves your skin conditioned and moisturized - all with the best natural ingredients available and no mess to clean up when finished!”

I’ve had my share of nicks and cuts after shaving, so I was eager to see what a difference the shaving oil would make.

First of all, I was amazed at how much usage could come out of one tiny bottle—I received the ½ oz. bottle ($6.95) which can last up to 100 shaves! I used 5 drops on each leg and massaged the oil all over. The scent was very mild and “citrus-y.” At first I was a bit wary because after massaging the oil on my legs, there was only a thin layer of oil on my skin—so thin that I thought it wasn’t enough to protect it from razor burn. But I was wrong—my razor glided smoothly over my legs—no razor burn, no nicks. The oil is great because it’s clear so you can see where and what you’re shaving (on more than one occasion I had shaved over an existing cut when using soap or cream. OUCH!). I was also anticipating that an oily residue would be left on my skin after shaving and rinsing, but again I was wrong—there was no oily residue left.

Another big reason why I think the All Natural Shaving Oil is great is because it's environmentally friendly. According to their website:

• Our 1/2 oz. bottle takes up 95% less space than a shaving cream can
• Use of our product has already eliminated approx. 20,000 lbs of shaving cream cans from landfills
• Small size and weight means reduced energy consumption and carbon emissions in supply chain
• Pacific Shaving plants a tree for every bottle of shaving oil sold
• Made in the USA

I also received a sample of the Nick Stick ($5.95). The Nick Stick “Stops bleeding quickly - no more tissue paper; Dries clear - no chalky residue; Rolls on - self-sterilizing applicator.”

Since I’ve been using the All Natural Shaving Oil, I fortunately haven’t had any nicks, therefore I haven’t had a need to use the Nick Stick. However, I’m sure it’ll come in very handy because nicks are inevitable, and if it can stop the bleeding quickly, all the better!

If you’re looking for an alternative to shaving cream that is environmentally friendly, and a way to stop bleeding quickly if you get nicked by a razor, check out the Pacific Shaving Company’s All Natural Shaving Oil and Nick Stick--you’ll be pleasantly surprised. They even guarantee your satisfaction—try the All Natural Shaving Oil, and if you are not completely satisfied after 60 days, you can return it to Pacific Shaving Company for a full refund. What have you got to lose (other than unwanted hair)?

Thank you to Pacific Shaving Company for providing the product(s) for review and/or giveaway.
