TOBS New Shaving Cream "Lime Zest"

"Lime Zest" is a new shaving cream from TOBS.  I recently viewed a review on youtube.  It is only available from one vendor in Italy and they are sold out.
I sent an email to TOBS, and they replied within hours. I look forward to trying this new product.  Below is the TOBS response:

Dear Sir,
 
Thank you for your email,
We are pleased to inform you that it is now available on our website and in the coming weeks will be available in America.

Both of the new scents are great. I'm not a scent expert but they both have great depth. The lime zest reminds me of Castle Forbes lime and the tobacco has a nice cologne scent.

So when did WCS move to Italy?

im not a big fan of TOBS, DR Harris been better IMO

I received the new TOBS Lime Zest from Maggards, and shaved a three times with it.
It is not a "pure" lime scent, but a blend of lime and orange citrus, plus several other non citrus oils.  Lime is the top note.  It is very refreshing and I really like it.  It is unlike any other "lime" on the market.  It is the typical TOBS quick lather which is both slick and protective.  It only takes a small amount of cream to make lots of lather.  This is a great addition to the TOBS line.
If you are looking for a non-blended "pure" lime scent, I would recommend Castle Forbes Lime Cream or Stirling Lime Soap.

One additional note about TOBS Lime Zest....
An email from TOBS confirms that they will not be selling a companion Lime Zest aftershave. TOBS said to use their Victorian Lime as the aftershave with Lime Zest.
I have been using Clubman Lime Sec, Gabels Drops of LIme, and Royall Lyme with this cream.

Not typically a cream user but this stuff is great!
Wonderful scent. Quick lather. Protection and cushion not as good as the top tier soaps...but...was surprisingly good. Quite acceptable.
The real surprise was the post-shave. I applied the remaining lather while doing clean up. Followed by cold rinse. Verdict? Shockingly good...on par with many top soaps.
All in all...big thumbs up! Solid choice for a nice refreshing quick shave with a great scent...
As a side note I have had CF Limes...alway found it very drying on my skin. This one is the opposite..very moisturizing....and at half the price..
