for sensitive skin if I might need normal to dry/normal to oily? I realize if you are oily and use dry, you might be more oily, and vice versa, but perhaps using the unscented for sensitive skin is like a fail safe? There's just a really great price ($30) at costco

It doesn't smell like much. That's pretty much all the downfall I can see.

Some people are sensitive to certain fragrance oils, so for sensitive skin they'll go to essential oils, or no scent at all.

Can we really distinguish between the normal to dry the normal to oily kits? If you look at the pictures, it says "for all skin types" for those two.

That and its only middlin' quality, especially in that price range, and its got that whole "system" nonsense going on. Much better to just grab some Truefitt & Hill unscented, or some other shave lines unscented product.

I agree totally. T&H unscented, or Taylors Avacado (which is super gentle on sensitive skin and not too scented) is way better than the Art of Shaving stuff.

Anything that sells itself as a whole kit generally isn't the best option if you have really picky skin. Your best off to pick and choose what works best.

Badger & Blade has some great reviews on shaving products.
