Castle Forbes shaving products

Castle Forbes has a large group of loyal fans worldwide. And that is not for nothing. The shaving range consists of 4 basic fragrance lines: shaving cream and aftershave balm. It starts with a neutral water-based preshave. This provides extra protection and 'glide' while shaving. You can combine this preshave well with other shaving products. The 4 shaving creams have a firm and greasy composition. A little bit is more than enough for a luxurious, rich, creamy and nourishing shaving foam.

The aftershave balms have an exceptionally calming effect. The balm protects and hydrates without leaving a sticky and greasy layer. These care products also contain natural ingredients, such as witch hazel and pure vegetable oils.
