Castle Forbes The Pre Shave

Andrew French, the creator of the Castle Forbes Collection has this to say about The Pre Shave...

Oil and water do not mix, which is why we do not make a Pre Shave Oil.  A pre-shave is ideal for those who experience razor burn, have skin imperfections, in growing hairs, a tough growth or just prefer a close and speedy protected shave.  So when our customers asked us to add a pre-shave to our collection we took our time and developed a unique water based, fragrance free product.  We failed to see how coating the skin and bristle with oil, which impedes penetration of water based lather to the bristle could optimize the cut.  The most essential ingredient in a successful Wet Shave is WATER to maximize hydration, to swell and weaken the bristle for the optimum close cut. 

The Pre-Shave starts the hydration process, quenching & swelling the bristle prior to shaving, leaving a ‘slip’ which allows the blade to glide over the contours and any imperfections of the skin to allow a close and protective shave.  Our water based formulation does not impede penetration to the bristle of  water based shaving lathers, nor will it leave your basin and your blades claggy or allow any oil residue to be picked up by your shaving brush which could cause reduced penetration of water to the brush hairs.
