Thread: My Castle Forbes Lime Essential oils shaving cream has gone waxy

Lather it as a soap in the tub itself. It should be fine after a few swirls with a slightly wet brush. Don't worry, it can't have gone bad. If it really old, worst thing is the scent would disappear but the performance shouldn't change.

What they said on "just use it", you might try a stiffer brush first few times as a super soft silvertip may not have enough umph to get the soap to load.

+1. I've only bought one tub of the stuff and that was a few years ago. Listed as a cream it was like a puck of soap. The cedar and sandalwood flavor. I used it as I would a puck and it was so good it is long ago used up.

I've had a big tub of CF Lime and the sample sizes of lavender and cedar. They all came in a harder, more soap like consistency. Like others have said, just use it like a soap and they work work great!

I just got a new tub of CF lime and it was quite soft like other creams I have owned. I actually thought they might have changed the formula, because I was so used to getting it in a drier state.
