Thread: MDC nah

I'd have to agree with using a little more product and a drier brush to start and then build from there, I've noted before how easy it generates a great lather so effortlessly, and easy to adjust to personal preference. YMMV with it or maybe a water type issue ? I'd keep working with it though...good luck !

I used to have that problem as well, many soaps did that, coupled with a nice aftershave would result in dry, flaking, red skin.

Then I found Esbjerg Aftershave Oil, unbelievable stuff, goes on like a light balm, and has transformed my skin....highly recommend the product.

Just had my second go with MDC.
This time instead of trying to load up untold amounts onto the brush I did a few swirls, lathered my face, added water, loaded up a few more swirls and repeated this process.
I got a nice creamy lather . So I stand corrected.

Plus I can make my creams last long by using MDC, its a win win.

I still think Castle Forbes is doggy doo doo though

I had issue with castle Forbes once upon a time. I bought into the Scottish instructions and hoped it would magically turn awesome. Then I used it like a normal cream and now find it to be superior to most. You need more product.

Glad it worked out for you.

Castle Forbes Lavender is awesome, akin to MdC IMO.

Castle Forbes Cedarwood...meh......CF Lime, yuck! YMMV!!

YMMV indeed, I love the fresh smell of CF lime!

Castle Forbes "Lime" is in my permanent rotation, great straight up lime scent with a superb performance.
