Review on 🍈 Lime Oil Shaving Cream by Castle Forbes - 6.8 fl. oz. by Christy Grizzle

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Expensive but worth it

$35 for shaving cream seems a bit crazy I know. But Forbes Castle is worth it. The best foam I've ever had and I've tried a lot. From time to time I try something new hoping to find a cream that is just as good, but so far I haven't found it. Truefitt & Hill is comparable in price, maybe a little more, but this lasts a lot longer and the lather is better. I was almost offended when I first opened a can of T&H and saw how small it was. Castle Forbes still shocks you a little, but this $35 tube will last me 6 or more months with more or less daily shaving. For some reason, lime-scented shaving creams are rare. Some offer ones that are *almost* lime, like Taylor's Lemon Lime or St. James's Black Pepper and Lime. Vulfix makes limescale, but it's not a very good shaving cream and it doesn't smell that good. This one is great, very strong but doesn't smell like cleaner. I tried lime and cedar/sandalwood. Both lather great, but I prefer the lime flavor by a mile. I haven't tried lavender yet.

Pros
  • High marks for hold and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
