Taylor of Old Bond Street Peppermint Shave Cream (5.3 oz)

First time using this type of shave cream. I have always used the gels, but they tend to clog up my electric razor. So I bought a new electric shaver so I thought Id give this a try. Now I know you purist out there dont like electric razors, but Im telling you this stuff works great with electric shavers. Makes a nice lather, has that wake up aroma, and rinses very clean off my face and off my razor. Im sold. And it goes a very long way. One tub will last me six months easy.

Ive only shaved with it once since receiving it in the mail. However, even with the first try I could already tell how great it was. I had been using proraso for the last year and a half, and as soon as I started using this, it lathered up so much easier, and made a thicker creamier lather than I ever got with proraso. Plus, the peppermint smells so good, and the tingling on my fave felt so nice, and refreshing. Highly recommend to anybody!

I’m not sure why this is considered for sensitive skin but the shaving cream lathers well and has a great smell. The blade slides over it easily and leaves an excellent shave. I use feather blades with an aggressive Muhle razor. This is a great shaving cream. I’m not sure what the negative reviews were expecting but this is a great product.

Just a small amount of this cream on a brush, mixed with a little warm water, and mixed in a shaving bowl creates a rich, foamy cream that applies easily and smoothly to the face. The shave is excellent and the peppermint smell is therapeutic both to smell and creating a refreshing feel post-shave. No filmy residue is left behind. I have purchased several of this companies products and I keep coming back. Great product whether youre using a standard multiblade razor, or going old-fashioned with a safety or straight razor.

This is the 5th TOBS that I have tried. The smell is very minty and leaves a nice tingle on my face. Perfect for those that shave in the morning, it helps open my eyes in the shower. The cream lathers quick and a little bit of product goes a long way. I have been pairing the cream with a feather as-d2 razor. I would use this cream again, although I am sure I will try another scent before I finish this one.

This is the first shave cream that I have bought. I have subsisted on shave SOAPS until now. However, I am thoroughly pleased with the results of this cream. It has a wonderfully peppermint-y scent that does not cross over into smelling medicine-y like some other soaps or creams. It also does a great job of moisturizing and protecting my face while proving a smooth shave surface for my DE razor. Just a little bit (an amount about the size of my pinky nail) works for a whole shave, so this tub will last months! One side effect, that I dont mind at all, is the cool sensation that it puts on your face. Almost like a menthol feel. I think it feels great, but wanted to make sure that other knew ahead of time. PROS: Great product with a great scent! CONS: Some might not like the cooling menthol feel. Final Say: Definitely no hesitation in recommending this product to any wet shaver.

Deep peppermint scent with an icy hot feel. Love it!

Great scent. Feels very refreshing and cooling on the skin. Only complaint I have is it tends to dry up a bit quick on the opposite side of my face that I start from. Definitely not a deal breaker though.

I love this stuff! I typically rub a small amount into my face as a pre shave. I then put a dollup in my bowl and whip up a nice foam with my badger brush that has soaked for a couple minutes in warm water. This cream goes a long way and makes one hell of a lather! I do a 3 pass straight razor shave and by the end, I have more than enough cream left to lather my face 3 or more times by just using a nickel size amount to start. Smells great, leaves my face feeling fresh and smooth. You can even just add water to your face with what remains of the cream on your skin for that last pass to finish of stray whiskers. Only thing I dont like is the soap film it leaves on my copper sink that I have to rub away each time.

This quickly became my favorite shave soap. Lathers well and smells great. Also has a nice cooling sensation. I have sensitive skin and have not had any negative reactions in the 10+ times Ive already used it.
