Thread: Castle Forbes products

Gentlemen,
I've been considering taking a step forward in life and upgrading to Castle Forbes products. Does anyone know where I could try them in the US? I don't suspect Dillard's or Sear's carries anything like this - and I'm not ready to drop a C-note on something I haven't smelled or felt. Thanks

You might try e-mailing them requesting some samples. I haven't tried them but other companies do so maybe CF will as well.

It's hard to say not knowing where you are. But you might check any high end department store in your area, say Needless Markup (aka Neiman Marcus) Saks Fifth Avenue etc. But let me tell you the lime oil cream is gooooood.

Also it is only 1/2 a c note for the shaving cream. Try Vintage Blades. He might be able to get you a sample. In fact I think the shaving cream with him is like $35. Not too bad....

Thanks alot.. I got so jazzed up talking about CF that I went to Vintage Blades site and ordered cedarwood/sandalwood. Even with shipping $43.

I have the lavendar. I am 100% a slave to CF. Never have I in my life had something so luxurious.

Thanks for the feedback and advice y'all, I'll try to check it out and get some samples. Pretty good sign that you couldn't resist the "purchase" button. Sorry about that!

Cheers

A tub of CF cream will last for a looooong time. It only takes the tiniest dab to make lather for days.

I willl have to try the Lavander next. I used the cedarwood and sandalwood Saturday I don't like it as much as the lime. However it is still great stuff.

Lynn and Don at Straight Razor Designs carry CF as well.

In my opinion, this line is absolutely one of the very finest creams available and worth the extra $$. If you look at the difference in price between CF and a lesser product over the course of a year, it just isn't that significant. The difference in quality and enjoyment, on the other hand, is definitely significant.
