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

I started shaving with a brush and safety razor about a year ago. I started with products from The Art of Shaving. Their cream (lavender) was hard, clumpy, and hard to lather. Taylor of Old Bonds Street Peppermint Shave Cream is awesome! It is creamy, smooth, and feels amazing on your skin. I get a much closer and smoother shave with this stuff than with the last cream I had. The peppermint oil leaves your face feeling cool and refreshed. I think Ive found my shave cream for life. -------------------------- Update (2 months later) I have been using this shaving cream for just a couple months, and it has worked magnificently. I normally shave 2-3 times a week, and when I do shave, I only use a small dime-sized portion of shaving cream on my brush. Using that amount over the last couple months, I have barely made a dent in the container. This stuff is going to last me a long time. What I have liked about this cream: - The smell is amazing - Even after two months, it still feels like butter (actually more like cool frosting) - The lather is thick and substantial - The stuff leaves your face feeling cool and refreshed (Note: I use a safety razor and a pre-shave oil before my shave)

PROS: Foams up very quickly so it doesnt take 1+ mins to lather up like some other soaps. Cost efficient. CONS: Sometimes the lather will get sticky when on face. This can be fixed by using more water when lathering. NEUTRAL: The peppermint smell is not subtle, its sweet like candy, so expect that. 4/5

This is my favorite TOBS shave cream yet. It is creamy and foams up well just like any other of the TOBS shave creams. blows any can cream out of the water. My favorite part is the cooling sensation on your face from the peppermint. I look forward to shaving in the mornings with this cream. Its a great way to wake up. For those of you that have not used a shave cream like this before you will need a bowl and badger brush. It will not work well if you just rub it on your face.

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

Smell is the strong and lathers great. I wouldnt recommend as a daily use cuz its pretty minty, unless thats your thing. I bought this for hubs for fathers day & used it myself to shave my legs. So tingly and love how it lathered! My legs were friggin smooooth! Yes, ladies can use this too!!

Excellent shaving cream. A little goes a long way. I compared this to the Art of Shaving brand and this is a much better value. Larger container/same consistency/excellent fragrance.

Switching from cartridge to double edge is an easy transition so long as you follow some best practices, (good razor, blades to match your beard and...), a good quality soap or cream. I have always preferred the tingle of a good menthol shave cream, so when I spied the peppermint TOBS I decided to give it a try. First: The point of the shave cream is to provide adequate lubrication. This product performed extremely well, and beyond my expectation. It is forgiving... if your mix is a little thin, or even a bit stiff, there is enough tolerance in this product that you will not suffer for it. 45 seconds to a minute in a bowl with a brush and you will have a lather second to none. Second: PEPPERMINT. Having been a fan of menthol creams out of a can, I was absolutely delighted with this cream. Aside from the cool sensation, the crisp scent added a bonus. Ive never been one for the heavy fruity odors or sandalwood aromas. I just got out of the shower and am thinking CLEAN. There is no after-image of peppermint. After you rinse and pat dry, there is a tingle that is gone along with the peppermint scent in a minute or two. Excellent. Lastly: I am somewhat new to safety razor shaving after 40+ years with electric then cartridge. You owe it to yourself to take a chore and turn it into a manly moment of pleasure.

I was determined to finish this bowl of shave cream... but just cant do it - into the trash it goes. I love their Grapefruit Shave Cream (

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.

Its hard to beat the quality of Taylor of Old Bond Street products. This one is no different. It lathers easily and provides great lubrication. I really love the scent of this one. Its very light and pleasant. It feels cool and tingly on my face. Out of several different creams and soaps I own and use, this is my favorite scent.
