1. Product is pricy, but I hear one of Best?

2. Anything similar in a Cresm that is more bang for buck

3. Castle Forbes is available in 4 Scents, what are two best, two works?

It is a very good cream that produces a really luxurious lather.

Performance wise for me it isn’t any better than the 3T’s.

Value is excellent as you get a 200g tub full of concentrated cream that you only need about a pea sized amount to get a lovely lather so pound for pound it is probably better than most creams.

All 4 scents are nice and scents are very personal. I absolutely love 1445 which is like a sort of a fougere and Lavender which is beautiful and natural.

You can get matching balms which are superb quality too.

One of my favorites and right now, the only shaving cream in my rotation.
I’ve tried 1445, and now I’m using Lavender. Great performance and awesome scents.

That‘s fair enough. Castle Forbes is not something I’d recommend purely on performance.
Of course and I totally agree also with your previous post.

Also, the last years I tend to choose fragrances that I like, only in edp or edt form and not soaps or creams or even aftershaves.

I realized that even the best scent, if it's in shaving soap & aftershave, only lasts for an hour or so. That's why I'm chasing the performance (of course I prefer the soap not to be offensive).

Tabac, Sni Mato, Author's Ridge are the top3 worst scents.

I’m the opposite when it comes to scents, I’m very sensitive to smells so for me the fact that the scent of a soap or cream is short-lived is a good thing - I never wear aftershave or edt and have to avoid some soaps that are just too strong.
