Review on 🍈 Lime Oil Shaving Cream by Castle Forbes - 6.8 fl. oz. by Rachel Riley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Small Batch, Exceptional Quality

Castle Forbes Cedar/Sandalwood Shaving Cream 6.8 fl.oz. is a premium shaving cream that received the Badger & Blade Best Product Award 2015 (http://www.badgerandblade.com/2015-awards-shaving-cream/). The scent is not sweet but the real smell of freshly cut sandalwood and cedarwood - very masculine, heavily woody. The aromas of lime and lavender are the same - they are the smells of real essential oils, not fake perfumes. The scent develops as the foam is applied, allowing you to experience the full spectrum of scents. The Castle Forbes Collection is not a faceless, mindless company, but a small group dedicated to quality, operating out of the Forbes clan's ancestral home in Scotland. . They only make small batches so they have absolute control. Along with Lady Forbes, Mr. Andrew French and his wife Judy founded the brand in response to his failure to find a shaving cream that met his standards. The resulting cream has a very dense texture and lasts for a very long time. It may seem expensive, but the benefit you get makes up for the price well. The high quality shows after the shave - your skin will be softer and smoother for many hours. Use it regularly and your face will reward you, as will your loved ones. As with any manufacturer, you are more likely to get a quick response to a product inquiry from your vendor of choice. However, I recently exchanged emails with Mr. French and found him to be absolutely committed to customer satisfaction. Despite his busy schedule, he was generous and diligent in answering my question about the product's features. Given that he would most likely be hosting a show at Saks 5th Avenue or running a Scottish peer company, I found the time he spent with a client to be exceptional.
