Castle Forbes 1445 Creme a Raser Shaving Soap

[MoreArtful]

...to die for. I get the best lather whipped up with minimal water. And the fragrance isn't stated on the lid. It's just great Scottish stuff using a Parker brush along with a stainless RazorRock GC with a GC84 shim. ASTRA blade. The shave is utterly BBS but one must proceed more slowly than with a Feather. Using an Astra there seems to be more protrusion than with a Feather.

Sounds wonderful! I looked it up & it has a fougere scent, which is smack in the middle of my wheelhouse. Thanks for the review!

Castle Forbes 1445 is an excellent premium cream.
The scent, for me, is wonderful. Old School British fougère.

If I ever manage to get through the jars of Lavender and Lime I have, I may try the 1445.

CF creams are good but they are very strongly scented and not everyone can handle that.

I only use the Lime in the warmer months as it's a bit drying in the winter. Usually would pair it with SCS Lime AS splash.

It is a wonderful cream, a notch above the 3T’s in my opinion and I love those too. One thing though, I don’t think they would be too happy with the great "English" stuff quote as Castle Forbes are from Scotland.
