The secret weapon against razor drag.

If you suffer from razor burn, tugging, or irritation, the problem likely isn't your razor—it's your prep. Our Custom Pre-Shave Oil is designed to be the first line of defense between your skin and the blade.

When you order from our Custom Apothecary, we bottle this slickness booster fresh with your choice of scent. This allows you to match your pre-shave to your soap and aftershave for a seamless, layered fragrance experience.

The "Brush-Safe" Formula: Most pre-shave oils are too heavy; they clog your pores and ruin your expensive badger brush. We engineered ours differently. By using a base of Grapeseed and Jojoba oils, we created a "dry" oil that creates a microscopic layer of glide without the heavy grease. It rinses clean from your brush and your razor.

Why add this to your loadout?

• The Glide: Adds an invisible layer of slickness that allows the razor to plane effortlessly over the skin.
• The Softener: Instantly penetrates coarse stubble, softening the outer shell of the hair so it cuts rather than pulls.
• The Shield: Protects the skin barrier from aggressive blades, drastically reducing nicks and "weepers."
• Dual-Use: It’s so light and nourishing, it doubles as a soothing post-shave moisturizer for dry spots.

The Functional Ingredients:

• Organic Jojoba Oil: Mimics skin's natural oils to condition the beard without clogging pores.
• Grapeseed Oil: The "dry" carrier oil that ensures the product is lightweight and won't gunk up your gear.
• Avocado & Apricot Kernel Oil: Packed with Vitamins A, D, and E to nourish the skin while you shave.

How to Use:

1. Heat: Splash your face with hot water to open pores.
2. Apply: Massage a dime-sized amount of oil into your beard stubble against the grain.
3. Wait: Let it sit for 30 seconds to soften the hair.
4. Lather: Apply your shaving soap lather directly over the oil. Do not rinse the oil off first.

Note: Because these are custom-made to your specifications, returns are not accepted on this item. We highly recommend ordering a sample of the scent first if you are unsure.
