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

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 (

I have heard other guys talking about the advantages of wet shaving...so i decided to start looking into it bit by bit. I bought a few shaving creams ...heres my review of TOBSs Peppermint shaving cream It arrived in a medium sized box , No fancy box like GFT shaving cream... 1- 1st thing i noticed was the neat plastic tub (which has a plastic sleeve inside) which the shaving cream came in. The smell of peppermint scent hit my nose upon opening the plastic sleeve...It looks like white sugar paste.... Wow...smells nice but its like smelling a bunch of Candy Canes(so it might put off some of you) A bit strong but fascinated me if anything. 2- One thing once i opened it i did ...was take a dab of it (almond sized) in my wet hands to see how it lathered. Whoa...like i said im a novice to this type of shaving but i was quite impressed by how lather formed in my damp hands off a small size like this. If anything it shows this is 200gm tub will last a few months if you shave every other day. (Ok i know ..i know..i need to use a shaving brush plus bowl ...ill be reviewing those at a later time) 3 Once i lathered up my face, you felt the smell of peppermint hitting your sinuses WOW...that was cool! ...after a great 1st shave ... It honestly felt great! No overwhelming smell ...a faint smell if anything afterwards. No complaints in any sense from the better half. If anything it impressed me quite a bit ....(Ive tried a few of TOBSs shaving creams. They were ok...but i still need to try 3 more to complete the line) The Peppermint Shaving Cream by TOBS is possibly the best shaving cream they have (Im going to try Sandalwood and Almond this week before i give it the crown but id say i was impressed by the uniqueness of the Peppermint smell.) I honestly cant complain about using this product...id suggest you try a TOBS shaving cream sampler (Like i said about GFT/DR Harris)... heres a place that sells sample packs. (http://www.maggardrazors.com/product/taylor-of-old-bond-street-sample-of-14-scents/) After trying this type of product .. Try it...youll never look back afterwards.

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)

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.

If you like the cool tingling from menthol/mint shave cream, this is the one for you. The first time using this shaving cream was new and surprising! Intense!

TOBS shaving creams perform very well, and they come in a million great scents. I like the feeling of menthol on my face, and the peppermint in this variety produces the same effect. Recommended for those who like that tingle.

I wasnt sure whether I would like it or not, but I love it. I have been using the Sandalwood version for a while and love that scent. And while the peppermint is pleasant and refreshing, I love that it feels like tea tree oil on the skin. Leaves a very nice, refreshing tingle while shaving! I also like that after I rinse, the scent and sensation dissipate. No sense in smelling like a candy cane all day! :)

Smells amazing, leaves skin feeling fresh. Use about almond size of lather in an Old Spice shaving mug and whip it up. I really enjoy the smell, it isnt overpowering but you definitely know it is there. The peppermint leaves your skin feeling refreshed. Nice tub, has a clear plastic sealing lid underneath the screw on lid -this helped on another Taylor I had sent and must of flipped a 100 times in the box. If the shaving cream moves to the top while you have the sealing lid in there, you can just easily scrap it back into the tub. If this lid wasnt there you would have to fish it out of the screw on lid which would be more of a pain. Very nice add on to the Taylor of Old Bond Shave cream tubs.

This has a good smell, and decent later. This is the second time I have received it with the plastic tub smashed in shipping.

If you love mint, you will love this shaving cream. Excellent quality and it will now forever be used by me. I LOVE it. Makes me feel like its Christmas morning ANY day of the week!
