Been using King of Shaves products since 2001 and they are absolutely fantastic. Wasn't too keen on the new packaging, I preferred the see through tubes but I suppose we have to move with the times.... See more

Rubbish

It smells awful and you can't see it when you put it on so you can't see where you have shaved.
I threw it away and will look for a shaving cream that is not invisible.

A sea fairer with great skin

I have been using King of Shaves for more than 10 years now and it is just fantastic on my skin. My work is out on the ocean which means I work in some harsh conditions and if my wife says my skin feels great, it it testament to how good the King of Shaves oil is

Old Dogs and new tricks

I used the King of Shaves oil for the first time this week. As a man of "too many summers" let me say that the difference between the oil and my usual gel is considerable. A smooth blade over stubble glide and no razor sting. An outstanding shave. I am a convert I wish I had seen the light sooner.

I find the king of shaves oil is really kind to my skin and helps to give a close even shave I would highly recommend this to anyone with sensitive skin. The size of the dispenser makes it so much easier to transport compared to shaving foams or gels plus you can get 75 shaved from one pump which makes economical sense.

Happy Customer…

Hi for years I would have a rash on my neck after I shaved,I tried all kinds of top brand shaving gels/creams and even got a prescription for creams to be used after shaving from my doctor but the rash would keep appearing. I switch to King of Shaves oil about 3 months back the rash started to disappear and after about 2 weeks it was gone completely and I am now rash free with no sign of it coming back,thanks King Shaves.

Brilliant Stuff!

Am a recent convert to 'shaving oils'. I have a full beard, but like to keep the cheek area forward of my sideburns clear.
Bought some KoS shave oil on offer - amazing stuff, compared to own brand ones I've been using previously.
Depending on the time available, will do a full wet razor shave, or a dry or wet electric shave. Best results so far have been with the dry electric shave.

I shave my head as well as my face and until recently used soap. Now I only use King of Shaves because it’s a cleaner, closer and faster shave and because we are travelling around Australia in a caravan I sometimes leave shaving for three to four days between shaves... the oil is so much better and gentler on my stubble and I always end up with a King shave. Keep up the good work.

So much better than the best creams

So much better than even the best shaving soaps. No real need for a soap removing wash. The lubrication makes the razor simply glide whilst dealing bristling . Aroma pretty good also I have switched and now have a king of a face!

Bull Dog Original Shave Oil all the way......

Having used King of Shaves shave oil for what must be ten years at least. I thought I would give another brand a try, and boy I'm so glad I did. I purchased Bull Dog Original Shave Oil and I can honestly say I'm a convert. It was the closest shave I have ever experienced, so much so I am now running down my supplies of King of Shave oil and will be using Bull Dog from now on. The bottle contains 30ml unlike the KofS bottle which only contains 15ml. And no you don't have to use more, just basically do as you do with KofS oil, apply and wait a minute or two then shave as normal. Bull Dog retails for around £4 so it works out much cheaper than KofS as your getting twice as much in the bottle.

Sorry King of Shave I just had to tell people about this amazing product. Thanks for the last ten years, it was nice knowing you.
