I forgot how great Castle Forbes Lime was until I used it today for the first time in awhile!!

@AlphaFrank75 - I doubt you'll be disappointed. It's a very thirsty cream but the lather is top shelf stuff. It's not only my favorite cream, but the lavender is my favorite version of the scent. FWIW I'm primarily a soap guy.

I have become a primarily a soap guy as well as I think soaps have better skin moisturizing ingredients in shea butter, kokum butter, lanolin, avocado oil, etc..... and I think you get a little better shave as well but CF is on par with soaps as far as moisturizing and performance.

CF Lime is still my favorite cream, followed by Cedar & Sandalwood.

Because of G.W.'s taunting I pulled the trigger and I just received notification from Shaving.ie that my order for both Lime and Lavender are on their way.

You're welcome!

That's the way to buy it.

I used TOBS Lemon/Lime the other day and was amazed. I had forgotten how fast & easy it is to build a great rich lather. Not that I don't get that with Soaps but it takes a lot more work.

I ended up ordering the sample pack and 74 TOBS lime a/s.

Well two weeks after I placed my order here it is. Speedy service by Shaving.ie, U.S. Customs not so much.

Ya done good @AlphaFrank75. Those tubs can be 2 years worth of shaves.

Cheers, Steve

Between these two and a drawer full of other soaps/creams I probably have a decade + of shaves waiting. I plan on giving these a whirl in a week or so.

Lime is my favorite of the CF scents. Here is the order in which I would rank them.

1) Lime
2) Cedarwood & Sandalwood
3) Lavender
