Today’s shave was great, day 2 of Bart’s preshave sample test and this was the amazing lime scent they do. This was a lot thinner, but just as effective. A lovely shave from start to finish.
Enjoy the day guys.
 
Yeah the lime sample is a bit thin but it smells amazing!! If he releases that (maybe a bit thicker like the others) I might buy it just for the smell!

This no doubt means I'm going to have to start buying lime creams and splashes, in spite of having steered away from citrussy things in favour of the dark and spicy. Oh man! No wonder they call us limeys hahaha! Who makes nice lime shave stuff again? Trumper? TOBS? Simpson?

Castle Forbes by far the best but don’t forget
TOBS Eton College collection is a wonderful citrus scent.
On the pre shaves i actually prefer them that thin,
I don’t think iv had a pre shave as thin but for me works a treat
 
Edit, haha what?! You know what you can do wi... Stop!!!

Cheers Mike. Yeah it's lime specifically that I wish to get in soap or cream. Mind you I still have some Extro Arancia which I have not had out for a while.
Normally I prefer hard soaps but I have it in my head that lime would be best as a cream. No idea why, does anyone else think that?! I liked the peppermint sample too but the lime smell is heavenly.
