The Obie Memorial First Tier Soaps and Creams Thread.

[markbignosekelly]

Gentlemen.

I used my Castle Forbes 1445 today and am happy to say its just as good as the original line up.
The ingredients appear to be the same just in a slightly different order indicating different ratios.



Upon opening I get a delicate fougere, woody, herbal with some citrus. Even with my big nose its quite a subtle fragrance, I have however got a bit of a cold. Using an almond size amount and my Manchurian Duke 3 I quickly whipped up a thick, dense face lather. Like the originals I find it can take a good amount of water and would be hard to make a thin, watery lather. As always with Castle Forbes the shave is impeccable, robust,slick and a good amount of cushion. The only downside for me is the post shave, it left my face slightly pinched but then so does Xpec, I do have a strong beard but girly like sensitive skin, nothing that a dollop of my usual Roship, Argon or Avocado oil wont sort out.




First tier for sure
