Shaving Oil

[FrankBlunt]

After years of using the cheapest shaving foam & razors I was recently introduced to shaving oil and was very pleasantly surprised at the smoother, closer shave and better feeling skin afterwards. Does anyone know where I can buy shaving oil in Phuket? I have to admit that my 'research' so far has been confined to a small branch of Boots.

Thanks in advance, FB.

I'll be surprised if you find it in Phuket.

Watsons had it years ago but, when I wanted to buy some about 18 months ago, I couldn't find it anywhere. I resorted to having someone from the UK bring me some.

I agree with you about it being the best shave - and although it seems to be expensive, it works out much cheaper than foam or gel as it lasts so long.

I've just thought that Villa Market may have it. Worth a look.

You might want to try Virgin Coconut OI......very slippery and good for the skin....and at 450 baht a litre !!!

I use gel so don't pay too much attention to shaving oils, but think I've seen it at Villa Market.

Ok, thanks for the feedback everyone. Looks like Villa Market might be worth a try next time I'm down that way (or perhaps virgin coconut oil).

I tried some years ago & I am pretty sure it came from Boots.

Try hair conditioner for shaving.
