Castle Forbes 1445 Aftershave Balm 150ml

The mission is complete. Now comes recovery. This balm deploys a sophisticated aromatic profile identical to the 1445 shaving soap—complex, measured, and considerably more pronounced than when carried in the soap alone. The fragrance will persist throughout the day.

Fragrance Profile

An aromatic fougère of considerable depth: petitgrain and lemon leading into tarragon and lavender, settling to vetiver, cloves, and patchouli. This is the canonical 1445 profile, unrestricted and at full potency within the balm formulation.

Recovery

Witch hazel gently closes the pores whilst conditioning proceeds through aloe vera and glycerin. The formulation is alcohol-free, paraben-free, and designed specifically for the post-shave face. A modest application leaves no greasy residue, only properly conditioned skin and sustained fragrance. The 1445 aftershave is particularly useful if worn alongside shaving soap of a different scent profile, as the balm will complement rather than compete.

Technical Specifications

150ml bottle. A measured amount per application ensures extended use.

Complete The Protocol

The designated recovery companion to the Castle Forbes Shaving Cream 1445 200ml. Together they form a complete 1445 shaving system — consistent in character from the first application of lather to final skin conditioning. Precede the shave with the Castle Forbes Pre-Shave Gel 150ml for a fully optimised protocol.
