Organic Pre-Shave | Close Shave Oil

from $43.00

Quiet glide. Enduring comfort.

Collection Summary

A lightweight organic oil designed to soften stubble and support glide, particularly for scalp shaving and reactive/sensitive skin. A quiet layer of ease that allows the blade to move with control, while maintaining skin comfort throughout the shave.

Product Description

Pre-Shave | Close Shave Oil forms a thin, layer between skin and blade. The composition cushions without weight, helping to reduce drag and irritation during close or frequent shaving.

Balanced oils absorb cleanly while supporting skin comfort, making this oil especially well suited to high-exposure areas such as the head, neck, and jawline. Use beneath shaving soap for added ease, or alone for a clean, minimalist shave.

Crafted entirely from organic ingredients and free from synthetic fragrance, this formulation is biodegradable, cruelty-free, and made in small batches in Otago.

Aromatic Compositions - uniquely Aermeda each blend reflects quiet luxury

Available in the same essential oil blends as Aermeda Shaving Soap, allowing the shave to remain composed and consistent from first drop to final rinse.

  • Sandalwood & Frankincense - Deep, resinous notes with a calm, grounded character.

  • Sandalwood & Geranium - Softly floral and woody, with restrained warmth.

  • Cedarwood & Lavender - Dry cedarwood balanced with subtle earth.

  • Lavender, Rosemary & Ylang Ylang - Floral-herbal harmony with soft spice.

  • Vegan | Rice Milk | Orange, Clary Sage & Ylang Ylang - Warm, softly spiced, and gently rounded.

Key Ingredients

A considered blend of certified organic oils, selected for glide, softness, and skin resilience.

  • Camellia Japonica Seed Oil — lightweight and cushioning, encourages smooth blade movement

  • Pomegranate Seed Oil — supports skin resilience during close or frequent shaving

  • Sweet Almond Oil — softens stubble and helps maintain skin comfort

  • Aloe-vera infused Sunflower Oil — calms and conditions the skin throughout the shave

Application

Apply to damp skin before shaving.

  • With shaving soap: Massage 3–5 drops into the skin, wait approx 1 minute, then build lather over the top.

  • As a close shave oil: Apply 5-8 drops and shave with slow, steady strokes.

For particularly sensitive skin or scalp shaving, begin with fewer drops and allow glide to guide the shave.

Design & Composition

Presented in a reusable stainless steel vessel designed for longevity and daily use.
Refills are available, allowing the oil to be replenished without replacing the vessel — a considered, lower-waste approach to everyday care.
