There are many shaving creams. Then, there is Castle Forbes. A lot more expensive that the $10 kind, but there is no comparison.

Top notch! Great lather and slickness, scent is amazing. Face doesn’t feel dried out afterwards like other brands. A little a pricey but the tub is quite large and a little goes a long way. This scent and lime are my go than other brands.

The first jar of this stuff was great. I think I even reviewed it here. This jar is very disappointing. It has a waxy, paraffin-like consistency and it is very hard to get it to lather up. When I do manage to get it on my face it dries out, leaving a white powder on my face. I wonder if this sat on a shelf in a hot place for a long time before it was sent out to me. I asked the Razor Emporium about this and I got an email suggesting that "sometimes they change the formulation without telling us". I don't buy that. I am disappointed with the product, but even more disappointed with the poor customer service. I will not buy here again.

I picked this up for my wife to use. I decided to give it a try. Great lather. A small amount goes a long way. Very slick glide with each pass. Very protective and cushioning. I couldn't feel the blade at all. After finishing up and rinsing off the shave cream left my face and neck very hydrated. No redness, no irritation. The nature scent of the lavender is very relaxing. If you like a quick shave this is great, if you like the ritual of having your morning shave then definitely pick up some. It makes for a very enjoyable shave.
