Thread: XPEC - What's the deal?

Gentlemen-
I was knocking around the retail sites when I came across XPEC cream - at a price that was more than double that of Castle Forbes! You get 50ml more but... Anyone have experience with this stuff?

Thanks, Gags

Well, spill the beans man, where was this excactly?
It is a very good product, thought to be more or less discontinued..

Yes, It's back. XPEC Original Shaving Cream | RoyalShave

Xpec is a top notch shave cream made by Forester, The same folks that brought you Domenico Caraceni.
Xpec was around a while ago, then taken off the market for reformulation.
See Shaving Soaps/Shaving Creams Reviews - Straight Razor Place Reviews

The price has gone up, and the container is bigger, now 250ml, but well worth it imho.
I recently purchased the new Xpec, Same as the old, We lost Caraceni, but got Xpec back....

They have a full line of products, including a non scented version. One of the people that worked on it, is Shirley Brody, She also helped design Czeck and Speake 88, and Penhaligons to name a few.

Great... I was hoping I'd never have another opportunity to buy this stuff after hearing it was discontinued. At that price, it'll be tough, but I'm sure I'll eventually pull the trigger

That's really good news!
Thanks for the link.
Well, on behalf of all those who live in the US....

It's made in Milan Italy, it must be available in the UK somewhere....

Hot diggedy, more good news.
Thanks altshaver, for posting the link.

By the way, I was able to score some Xpec from Royalshave after all.
Turns out international sales was available after all...

I've taken delivery on some XPec products.
It was well worth the wait, I must say.
The cream I knew from before, but the AS gel and the Cologne was new to me.
The scent was rather intense and very good IMHO, I even got immediate wife approval on the scent, and that's always a plus

I used the XPec products for the first time today. I must admit that I was a bit put off by the price - it is not cheap! But the performance is outstanding! The cream is luxurious and efficacious beyond belief. And the cologne has excellent longevity. The scent itself is very complex, and very masculine. If it is within your means, you should definitely try the products. That said, I recognize not everyone can or should spend that kind of money on a tub of cream. But it's really not as out of line as you think. The tub is roughly twice the size of a tub of Castle Forbes. And amazingly so is the price!

Ultimately, as we all know, YMMV in everything in this sport, but for my money, I'm not upset that I purchased the XPec!

Can someone direct me to an online Euro shop which sells this Xpec ShavingCream please

I have to get it for myself as a Christmas present !!!
