Excellent shaving oil! The texture is very good, and it is nourishing for the skin. The price is also nice, compared to other shaving oils out there!

100% Customer Satisfaction 10/10
I only recently discovered Village Barber shaving oil and balm and I'm so glad I did. This oil does an amazing job of lubricating to achieve a BBS shave with no nicks or skin irritation. I use the oil before lathering, as part of my DE shaving routine, because I find it leaves me with less burn from Alum.
The balm has a rich creamy texture and it absorbs quickly into the skin leaving it feeling nicely hydrated.
Both products have a classic, refreshing scent, although very subtle. For me, I really like the smell because it has a similar scent profile to one of my favourite fragrances, Bloodaxe by Pocket Scents.
I also picked up a couple of Travel Packs as they are perfect for gifts.
So, all good, I will definitely purchase again in future.

Sadly, as much as I'd like to accept your lovely comments, you have left your review on the wrong business. Village Barber has a male owner and hasn't changed staff....
Item is exactly as described.
Bought this for a gift for my husband.
Quick delivery.
My husband is very pleased with both the oil and balm. He says it helps to give a very close shave. Skin feels soft and smells lovely. Will definitely be purchasing some more.

Village Barber thrives on its solid reputation for excellent customer service, Nicole. Thanks for taking the time to let us know we're still doing well on that front!
This product is the real deal
Having tried many other pre shave oils, no other products come close to village barbers. Plus you can rely on Iain for excellent customer service. He delivers a personal touch. First class.

Village Barber Shave Balm…
I have used the Village Barber Shave Balm for quite a few years now.I had tried many others but didn't enjoy the greasy feeling from some and smelling like limes or vetiver (whatever that is...)from others.Iain makes a fine balm! It goes into yhe skin smoothly and leaves no residue except a feeling of calm hydration.The aroma is almost non-existent but what there is just smells wholesome. It is great stuff, and reasonably priced with fast delivery.Thoroughly recommended.

Hands down the best shaving oil available on both sides of the Atlantic. The shaving results and the best protection against all kinds of unpleasant side effects like nicks, cuts, etc. You need nothing else - Just the oil and a decent razor/razor blade.
Thank you for the rare and precious moment when claim and reality meet so perfectly. And this is true for the product and the customer service.
