Description
Description
Castle Forbes Water Soluble Pre-Shave is a thin, oil-free protective lotion designed to provide additional glide and comfort before shaving. Its water-soluble formula creates a light hydrating slip across the skin, helping the razor glide more easily over contours, bumps, skin imperfections, and scars without leaving behind a greasy residue.
Unlike traditional oil-based pre-shave products, Castle Forbes uses a water-based formula that works alongside hot water and water-based shaving lathers. Because it does not coat the facial hair in oil, it allows the shaving cream and water that follow to reach the beard without unnecessary interference. The unscented formula also pairs easily with your favorite shaving cream without competing with its fragrance.
Best For: Wet shavers who want additional razor glide and a light protective barrier without using an oil-based or scented pre-shave product.
Performance Profile
The thin, water-soluble lotion lays down a hydrating and protective slip that helps the blade move smoothly across the skin. It can be especially helpful when shaving quickly or when extra protection is desired around facial contours, bumps, imperfections, or scars. Because the formula is oil-free, it will not leave an oily residue on your shaving brush, razor, or basin.
A Word from the Manufacturer
Castle Forbes emphasizes hot water as an essential part of a traditional wet shave, which is why this pre-shave was formulated to be water soluble rather than oil based. The formula is designed to provide additional protection and glide while allowing water-based shaving lathers to penetrate the facial hair effectively.
Directions for Use
Begin by splashing or washing the face with hot water, or hold a hot, damp flannel against the skin for several seconds. Apply a small amount of Castle Forbes Pre-Shave with the fingertips, spreading a light layer over the area to be shaved. Follow with your preferred water-based shaving cream or lather and shave as usual.

Pro Tip
