If you like a high quality shaving cream with a strong lime scent then then search no further. Compared to other lime scented creams such as Geo F. Trumpers Limes, which is very muted and subtle, this is more in your face (which I prefer). Great lathering and shave lubrication, too.

Not an exaggeration. Castle Forbes makes the most unique shaving cream on the market today. Endless lather, kind to sensitive skin, provides a noticeably closer shave, rinses clean from your face and brush easier than any other product I've used. This is the only shaving cream I will buy from now on. You only need a tiny bit. This container will last you at least a year. Try it!

I have used Castle Forbes products for over three years. They are the best shaving essentials, and I have tried everything else over 50 years, from foams to shaving oils. Absolute must is the shaving cream itself. I was sold by one of the CF owners at Saks Fifth Avenue in NYC when it was first offered. My face loves this stuff! One jar has lasted me over three years because you only need to tiniest bit on a clean wet face. I never travel without it either. Just put some in a clean small jar. A little will last your six weeks of travel. The feeling it leaves is great with an amazing close shave using a mulitblade razor. I later bought the preshave and aftershave. Of the two I recommend most the aftershave if you have to choose. It also has the lime oil and is so soothing. Yes, these product appear expensive, but a little dab will do ya as the commercial used to say. I know I pay less over time to get a fantastic shave with Castle Forbes. No, I am not a salesman or owner, just a very satisfied customer who likes to turn my friends onto these great products.

Pricey, but a little goes a long way. Probably no more expensive than "rash in a can", shave for shave. The tactile feel of the shave is, ahem, "cutting-edged" smooth, the scent is pleasant in a sublime way. I've enjoyed all of Castle Forbes scents... And the skin, after the shave, is so smooth that you'll become a sex-magnet. Well, maybe.........

BTW, for you multi-track users out there: you've been brain-washed! Double-edged blades, with practice & study (I recommend "Leisure Guy's: The Art of Shaving, plus many resources on the web) offer a much nicer shave for pennies a shave! Try it, you won't be sorry....

This shave cream is absolutely amazing!! Produces the richest, thickest lather you can imagine and the pleasing lime scent is wonderful as well. Castle Forbes Lime provides a great amount of cushion and comfort to your shave and leaves your skin feeling moisturized and silky smooth without the need for aftershave balm. Of the hundreds of shave creams and soaps I have tried in every price range, CF Lime is without doubt one of if not the best of them. The price is certainly not cheap but the generous sized tube will last you a very long time. If you have not tried it do yourself and your face a favor!!

Was recommended that this was the best shaving cream by a straight razor forum -

and they were right!!

Even for a beginner such as me it was easy to make a great lather. The lather is slick and doesn't dry out. Makes for a luxurious shave. The smell is light since they only use natural oils.
