Being new to DE...I must admit something. For the first month or so I thought that to be a true and traditional wet-shaver I needed to use soap and a mug only. How wrong and snobbish of me. The creams I have found are as much fun and awesome to use as any soap. To date- Castle Forbes Lime is simply delightful. Yes, I said delightful. What other blog will you hear a guy say that as well as luxurious (lather), when posting to a forum. Hah. Have a great night.
