Excellent pre shave

I having been using Castle Forbes pre shave for several years, sets you your stubble for an excellent shave.

Arguably the pre-eminent pre-shave

I've tried many pre shaves and, in my opinion, Castle Forbes is arguably the most effective preparation for achieving a high quality shave. Whilst it comes at a premium price, only a small amount is required for daily application. Consequently, used sensibly, a bottle will last around 4 to 5 months if shaving daily

The God of Pre-Shaves - Castle Forbes

I have taken to wet shaving recently after a long period of 2 decades.

Before I switched to again to the Wet shaving ritual, I had done some good amount of research on which products to buy and from where.

After going thru a lot of reviews/articles/blogs, one brand that caught my attention was Castle Forbes. Next was to find a e-com seller who would be able to ship this to India and I bumped into “TGC” and from there on its been a joyful experience.

I have a sensitive skin and cannot tolerate rash or crude products and I feel that CF products are top-of-the class products rich in essential oils and do not contain any harmful chemicals.

Pre-shave is an important part of my shaving regimen and I found the Castle Forbes pre-shave perfect for my requirement.

It does the right level of lubrication required for my skin and is water soluble. Which means,that my razor blades do not wear out due to scruffing of skin and oil. I top it with my Castle Forbes Cedarwood & Sandalwood Essential Oil Shave Cream and the aftershave balm from the same range.

The shaves are very comfortable and luxurious with the use of this product and I look forward to getting up early from my bed to have my Castle Forbes shave.

The pre-shave is a must try for all, specially for men with sensitive skin as mine.

It indeed is “The God of Pre-Shaves”.

Thanks a lot The Grooming Clinic guys for delivering it at my door steps in India.

Really good if you shave with a brush...

If you shave with a shave brush then The Pre Shave by C Forbes in highly recommended. Oils make the bristles stick together sometimes but this doesn't.

Bond's Choice

Aside from the James Bond connection, this is a must-have for fans of proper wet-shaving. First, on the parabens: there are two in the forumla, but even with my sensitive skin they haven't caused irritation. Unless you're allergic or incredibly sensitive, you should be fine. Now, the cream: even less is needed than you'd expect. It's thicker and richer than Taylor's of Old Bond Street, though a little more work is needed to get the lather super silky. The scent is stunning- absolutely the Eucris blend of blackcurrant, oakmoss, and floral notes- and the performance is second-to-none. Gave me a very close shave even with mild blades. Great value for money in a larger tub than other makers, too. Treat yourself, get this. The fragrance lingers afterwards, so you're guaranteed to smell great.

Exuberant, masculine, and effective

Smells exactly like the Eucris Eau de Toilette- blackcurrant, oakmoss, white musk, subtle flowers, wood. Decidedly masculine- in a Romantic or Edwardian fashion. Not overpowering, and it lasts very well on even warm days. No irritation whatsoever, either. Only a little is needed. Great for a nice occaision or date
