Yeah . . . I will say, I do like the sandalwood scent on it though. :) But yeah, the pre-shave oil does seem a bit sticky to me as well. I might try a few things, but really, I'm not seeing much...

I fully expect a few marks along the way, but really happy with day 1 and looking forward to day 2. Now, to figure out this stroping thing. :)
