Castle Forbes The Pre-Shave

Didn’t work well for me

Unfortunately didn’t work well for my skin. The shaving cream and after shave were both great so I had high hopes.

Not for me but…

Let me preface that I have used castle Forbes shaving cream and after shave for decades and absolutely love it. I find the pre shave unimpressive at least for my beard type. I prefer jpre shave oils after all for a superior glide and a clean shave. This does not mean that it won’t work well for you.

Best pre-shave out there, hands down

While I'd like to profess a steady hand and perfect shaves, the alum block and visual feedback tell me I can be a little rough on the face. Plus I'm often in a hurry to get out the door on time. All that to say that I enjoy my shaves more with a pre-shave experience. I've tried at least four different pre-shaves and this one by Castle Forbes is the best. It's not a contest. It goes on super easy and fast. It almost makes warming and lathering unnecessary. So I use it as my go to pre shave. Sometimes for variety, I use an oil based, scented pre shave. They are okay. Once you get used to the easy on, easy off, quick clean Castle Forbes approach, you're never going back. Enjoy!
