Both work great so a lot of it is down to personal preference. The shaving soap offers a slighter lighter shave, pro tip - rub the soap against the skin for a good creamy lather.  However the shaving oil is great for dry skin as it moisturizes and shaves simultaneously, and can also be used as a post-shave oil so it's super versatile. Even if you don't purchase our shaving products, we do recommend you use some kind of protective barrier against your skin for best results.
