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

This is a very, in you your face, wake you up in the morning, feeling refreshed kinda peppermint. I love it. Huge peppermint shaving cream fan, ie proraso. This is easy lather to build like most tobs. The only other scent that tops this is the marzipan/almond/cherry like a cella. This gives great slickness and protection. Little goes a long way. I Would buy again.

Taylors makes some of the best shave cream out there. Performs well, lathers easy, very high yield per gram of the soap. I think the price is well-considered, and the packaging adequate to the task. The face feel of this peppermint soap has a nice cooling, mentholated sensation, and the cream base performs as expected for this brand. My only qualm is that the smell of the soap is a little chemical. When the cap first comes off, it almost smells like something you expect in a doctors office. This goes away as it lathers, and the true mint smell comes to the fore, but it can be a slight turn off.

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.

Exceptional product. After using Art of Shaving for several years I became annoyed with the lack of inventory and repeated “out of stock” messages. I researched and found this. First, it is a thicker, more solid product. I like this, it keeps me from overusing. A little water on the brush and it’s perfect. It doesn’t take much. Has a great smell and while I can’t say it tingles when used, I do use a pre shave oil. After the shave I do feel the effect of the peppermint. I also sense it when used on areas of my face that have no pre shave oil. Great product. Don’t be confused by the reviews that talk about how hard or solid the product is.

Wow. This shaving cream is awesome. If this doesnt wake you up in the morning I dont know what will. Lathers great and feels even better when you splash some cold water on your face. It has a little more cooling effect than Proraso green. Im now addicted to way menthol and/or peppermint creams feel when you finish your shave. I have two more tubs of these on reserve just so theres no risk of running out. Literally like shaving with Altoids. Get some.

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!

Im a huge TOB fan and have used them exclusively for years. I think they lather the best out of any brand Ive experienced. Ive tried almost every scent and really can only get along with a few of them (sandalwood, almond) and dislike most of them. This scent is on the dislike list. It doesnt smell like real peppermint but rather a laboratory recreation, which it probably is. Im moving away from TOB because its getting too expensive for me, but I still stand by that they are the best if you can afford it.

I love peppermint washes and creams and this shave cream surely does not fall short in letting you know you are in fact shaving with a peppermint cream through scent and sensation. It has the warming sensation that typically accompanies peppermint, a nice little morning wake me up in addition your coffee. It also coats and lathers extremely well especially compared to Proraso creams. You only need to dab just the tiniest amount on your brush to get it going after wetting the brush. It is not however as gentle and nourishing as Proraso creams as it does leave one of those slightly sticky films on your skin that will linger unless you treat with a moisturizing cream thereafter. Overall, a great shave soap/cream option to add to your wet shaving repertoire.

I love the peppermint and I love the fresh feeling after you rinse off. Lathers up great by far the best lather I’ve used at the barbershop.

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