The Holy Grail of Shaving Creams... for £7.97!

Well that was quick. The Castle Forbes has a strong sour limeade aroma, whilst there is no real discernible scent from the Gentleman's Face Care Club. It's very subtle and just removes an unscented type natural smell.

Thank you. Useful. Not for me if as subtle although I do appreciate folks REALLY recommend etc....

This is an excellent cream with a very subtle scent, although the brush took an awful lot of cream when giving the tub a quick swirl.

I try to decant to a bowl rather than load from the tub. I found out the hard way that creams can be very susceptible to spoiling quickly from even a little cross cross contamination or residue water.

Me too. I keep a small spoon (even smaller than a teaspoon) in the bathroom, scoop a small bit of cream onto it, put the lid straight back on the tub and put the blob of cream onto the brush tips or into the lather bowl
 
I'm 99% sure this is the same cream coming from the OEM cosmetics manufacturer for TOBS, T&H, GFT. Same ingredients as TOBS, in the same order word for word, UK made. The owner is a fitness marketing guy, he probably has no idea what lye is.

Sweet deal, it's TOBS for just $8.22 on Etsy, tax included! This should please many of their fans. :)
 
With MANY thanks to Sabre for his sample.....

This is a very nice cream. Does it all it should do apart from deliver on 'flavour' . Barely a sniff to me. I certainly would not buy it. You buy lime cream because it smells of lime? This doesn't. If you want an excellent cream at a good price then maybe this is ok.

I'm using a tub of this now, but I want to try a stronger scented lime next time, perhaps a T&H. Yes it is very subtle, ie barely there at all. The original GFCC is a really pleasant sandalwood scent which you can still feel, well smell, a while after shaving

If you like lime I recommend you try Trumpers West Indian Limes cream.
It's such a pleasant scent you can get addicted to the stuff !
