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

I have used this three times so far it is very comparable to tobs almond as far as performance. It does have a very strong peppermint smell I have read some reviews that say it smells like candy cane. To me it is reminiscent of that but not as sweet of a smell. The best part of the peppermint is the feel to me its almost like using a menthol shave cream and its very refreshing when your done and splash your face with cool water. This will be in my regular rotation for sure and as always with tobs a little goes along way. I use this with a double edge razor and good badger brush I also face lather no bowl and have no issues with lather. It does have a slight tingle to it similar to menthol so I am not sure how people with sensitive skin will react to it. I do not have sensitive skin and have had no issues.

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.

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 product is excellent. The peppermint fragrance is energizing and soothing at the same time.

This product does leave you with a slight cool sensation and smells minty nice (not over powering) I find it works great with my series 7 Braun on electric wet shave and/or with a razor (I use an old fashion safety blade). Sometimes I use both, electric first and touch up with a razor in some spots electric just doesnt hit well for some reason (minor spots on neck). It just feels good that way for me as I feel like Im getting a cool face massage with the electric razor. Sometime I just use a razor. Either way the product (any scent) is outstanding. All of the shave creams by Taylor I have found to be outstanding. I just prefer this scent and the cool feeling after. I rub on with my fingers to apply to wet face when doing an electric wet shave and use a brush when I just use a razor as I find this gives the right lather style for each. With the amount needed for a shave (dime size) one of these tubs usually lasts me a couple months or more. Sometimes I dont shave on weekends. I will buy again, over and over. I rarely write reviews but this one is deserving.

Great shaving cream! My first shaving cream purchase was from Taylor of Old Bond Street but the Sandalwood scented version. Eventually I ran out of the sandalwood cream, so I decided to try out the Peppermint scented version. I have to say that I enjoy the peppermint version more than the sandalwood. It is obvious that it smells like peppermint, but (and I may sound weird for saying this) it feels like peppermint. I shave with double-edged safety razor, so ideally I wet shave. When I was lathering my face with this cream all was normal, until bang! My face began to tingle. You could feel the peppermint. So if you have sensitive skin, maybe try another scent. I love this companys shaving cream because its good for your face, and a lot goes a long way.

LOVE THE SMELL AND FEEL

I accidentally sniffed lil too hard you don’t want this stuff in your nose it’s very unpleasant love they’re products though this smell is just not me

Cream lathers very quickly and soothes against razor burns!

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.
