The first line of defense against a rough morning.

If you suffer from razor burn or tugging, the problem likely isn't your razor—it's your prep. Our Ol' Kentucky Pre-Shave Oil is designed to create a microscopic barrier between your skin and the blade, allowing the razor to plane effortlessly over your face.

We’ve infused this slickness booster with our signature Ol' Kentucky fragrance. As you massage it into your stubble, you’ll be greeted by the warm, sophisticated notes of Bourbon, American Oak, and Sandalwood. It sets the tone for a ritual, not just a shave.

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 adds glide without the heavy grease. It rinses clean from your brush and your razor.

Why add this to your routine?

• The Glide: Adds an invisible layer of slickness that prevents "skipping" and nicks.
• The Softener: Instantly penetrates coarse stubble, softening the outer shell of the hair so it cuts rather than pulls.
• The Layer: It creates a base layer of fragrance that amplifies the scent of the matching Ol' Kentucky Shaving Soap.

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.
• 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 Ol' Kentucky Shaving Soap lather directly over the oil. Do not rinse the oil off first.

Note: Because this item is compounded fresh to your order, returns are not accepted. We highly recommend ordering a sample if you are unsure of the scent.

Full Scent Profile

Boozy. Oaked. Smooth.

Primary Notes: Bourbon, Oak Barrel, Sandalwood.

The Vibe: The official spirit of the Derby. This scent is an ode to the Bluegrass State and its most famous export. It captures the warmth of a rickhouse, where barrels of bourbon age slowly in the summer heat. It is rich, creamy, and deeply American.

The Profile: Crafted with bourbon at its core, this fragrance is smooth rather than stinging. We started with the whiskey note and blended it with a base of oak wood and sandalwood to replicate the barrel itself. A hint of patchouli and powder softens the edges, creating a sophisticated finish that smells expensive.

Who It’s For: The Connoisseur. Whether you are a whiskey enthusiast or just appreciate heritage goods, this scent resonates. It is perfect for a relaxing evening or a casual weekend. It smells like tradition.
