Taylor of Old Bond Street Jermyn Street Luxury Shaving Cream for Sensitive Skin, 5.3-Ounce 01014

i bought this because i assumed (wrongly) it would be unscented, or at least not have a strong scent. it does have a fairly strong perfumey scent. while not unpleasant (and apparently safe for me, which means it doesnt trigger migraines) i would have preferred it if it were completely unscented. as far as how it does as a shaving cream, it seems just fine. my husband seems to like it. time will tell how it performs on his skin. hes only shaved a few times with it and he doesnt notice any particular difference between this and the jar of ToOBS (Pink Grapefruit) he had before, but its early days yet. UPDATE a few months on: the scent remains and is so strong that its bothering my HUSBAND, who is not normally sensitive to scent. as for me, whenever he shaves, i get a migraine from the lingering scent. he has to scrub his face very hard to keep this from happening. were tossing this jar and going back to the grapefruit scent. that was lovely and never caused a problem for either of us.

Provides close shave, like the texture

This shaving cream has some very interesting qualities to it. I certainly like it, as the number of stars I gave it should indicate, but the scent is a little difficult until you get used to it. My words could not adequately describe it, so I wont even attempt to here, but my advice would be to give this cream a try while the Mrs. is away for a few days so you know whether youre going to like it or not. Minus one star for billing itself as a sensitive skin shaving cream. Theres no noticeable difference between this and any other cream Ive tried that leads me to believe its been formulated to cater more to my sensitive skin.

Great soap. With this, a brush, and a good razor youre in business.

I have a thick beard and sensitive skin. I mix a little of this with the shaving soap and it lathers great. and does not irritate my face. My wife loves the smell.

Awesome lather and awesome scent!

I recently decided to make the jump from 17-blade nuclear powered vibrating blades with kung-fu grip to old-school DE shaving. I received a Merkur 180 and some Feather blades as a gift, and got myself some Jermyn Street. It lathers up very nicely, and as others have noted, a little goes a long way. I whip my lather up in a nicely sized cappuccino mug I picked up at a local store, using a badger brush. Lovely lather, smells great. Good lubrication, and while I did notice that it tends to collect in the razor, it was easy to get out. I loosened the blade a tiny bit and shook it under the water for 5 seconds. Boom, clean again. Bonus #1: My wife thinks I smell better than ever. Using this along with the Jermyn Street after shave. I find the scent very pleasant and manly too. Bonus #2: My office is 3 blocks from one of the Pasteur Pharmacy locations in NYC, and they deliver to my office for free. They keep this, and a bunch of other TOBS product in stock, as well as lots of other soaps/creams. If youre in NYC, go there, and look around. Its like being a kid in a candy store. Significant danger to full wallets in that place.

Taylor of Old Bond Street makes great soaps, maybe not the absolute BEST that there are, but pretty darned good. Truefitt and Hill makes better soaps, but T&H products are also much more expensive. TOBS Jermyn Street is a luxurious shaving cream that makes a mountain of rich creamy lather quickly and easily. It also doesnt break down during a shave. If one has their shaving brush well loaded there will be enough lather for several shaving passes. Basically, a little of TOBS shaving cream goes a long way so this tub will last a long time. It is well worth the price and I highly recommend this product. You wont be disappointed.

Another wonderful feeling cream which smells great too. Nice lather which makes your razor glide over your skin. Great for sensitive skin like mine. My new favorite. I will definitely buy this one again!!!

Love it, great smell and a little definitely goes a long way
