Item Description
Castle Forbes Unscented was the product I used to take care of some tough whiskered areas around my face. I had a hard time getting a BBS because of them, and was getting irritation from blade buffing.
I put the liquid on and rubbed it into my skin after a shower. It takes only about three drops or so. It was not oily at all and washed off my hands with water only. I left it there for about three minutes while I prepared my lather.
The lather went on as usual. The first pass was WTG, and it was much smoother than normal...I actually checked the razor to make sure I had a blade in it. The result was a closer one pass shave than ever before.
With an ATG pass I noticed more. The razor moved more easily and I had no problems even with no pressure at all on the razor head. Touch ups were quick and I needed fewer buffing strokes to get the previously difficult regions. The end result was a BSS and no irritation.
I'm very impressed with the product. I varied nothing in the shaving regime except to use it. I've tried it now several days in a row with similar excellent results. On the third day, I was able to get by with one WTG pass and some touch-ups, with no ATG pass needed.
Perhaps others have noticed no difference from preshave stuff, but it works for me. The price is a bit steep, about $40 for a 4 oz bottle, and the bottle is glass, not good in a tile bathroom. But I only needed a few drops to make a good shave into a great shave.
