Best Pre-Shave Product: King of Shaves Original Shave Oil

After coming runner-up last year, King of Shaves Oil has seen a rise in popularity with Basenotes visitors since then and has beaten Clinique M-Shave by a narrow margin.
Its small size makes it ideal for traveling, and one bottle lasts ages. Because it's foamless, you can see where you are shaving; and for those of you with real heavy beard growth, you can use it underneath your usual foam / gel / cream for a really close shave.
Electric Shaving fans can also use this as an electric pre-shave solution.
