Smells great, foams easy and great for shaving my head everyday!

Awesome purchase and on time!

Fantastic Scent... Plus you can Never Go wrong with any of Taylor of Old Bond Street products.

As someone whose got into the whole wet shaving kick a few years ago, Ive sampled probably 30+ high end shaving creams from The Art of Shaving, TOBS, Trufit and Hill, etc. This stuff is a top 5 for me for a few reasons: - The smell is wonderful. A bit like a fancy cologne, but not too strong. Seems to fade shortly after use which is perfect. - Lathers very nicely and isnt too picky about the cream/water mixture - Lathers well even in hard water - Reasonably priced - Moisturizes well I really really like this cream. It says for sensitive skin, although I dont necessarily know if I notice it being any better or worse than the other Taylor offerings for my skin, which is moderately sensitive. The container is a nice shiny black and looks high-end sitting on your countertop. Lately, Ive taken to a normal 5 blade razor and gotten rid of my DE habit just due to time. I find I get much better shaves with the traditional cartridge razors when using this cream vs. something in a can. I find its a good compromise between shave quality and time needed to shave. Highly recommended. Makes a great gift for a guy who has everything.

Please be very careful there is no protection between the skin and shaver with this product. And it caused issues during and after use.

I really enjoy this product and brand. I have been using this product for over a year and really enjoy.

Great

Just what I was looking for. I have used many different shaving creams and soaps. And while nothing was wrong with the others, I was just looking to try something new, and see if I was missing anything. Previously Ive used Crabtree and Evelyn, Art of Shaving, and Jack Black. Im a fan of the last two, as I like the shaving cream vs shaving soap of C&E. My wife is a fan of the scent of this soap. She commented the first time that I used it. I am a fan of how well it lathers, and the quality of the shave that I get. I currently shave with a safety razor, but I have used this with the fusion razor system. I have been pleased with both shaves. It builds a nice lather that stays where you brush it, and helps to lift the hairs to make for a closer shave. It also washes out of the brush easy enough, that I cant notice any left when its dry. I will continue to buy this, and I recommend it to anyone that has issues with razor bumps. With others I have used pre-shave oil and shave cream together. But, I have not had to do that with this.

I think Taylor of Old Bond Street (TOBS) makes the best shave cream (at least of the dozen mid-priced that Ive sampled). My favorite TOBS cream is their Avocado in terms of performance, but Jermyn St has the better scent. I wish the scent were stronger. I dont know how to describe it other than it is neither soapy or perfumy but tends to be immediately pleasing with multiple layers. I doesnt last nearly as long as the Sandalwood though. I understand that TOBS was intentionally making a lightly scented cream for sensitive skin, but I wish they would crank it up. In terms of performance I dont think this does as well as Sandalwood or Avocado. Jermyn Street doesnt lather as easily and tends to be have a waxy finish compared to Sandalwood. In terms of performance, I feel the Sandalwood and the Avocado (no it doesnt smell like avocados, more like cucumbers and herbs) are the best of TOBS offerings - I havent tried all, but I have most of them. If you want a lightly scented cream that performs well, give this a try.

I have been wet shaving for a few years now and love it. I have also used Taylor of Old Bond Street products before with great success (Sandalwood is my usual go to) This product was different however and gave me a rash the very first time I used it. This was my first time using the sensitive skin formula. Its disappointing as my wife & I both thought the smell was very pleasant. I guess Ill stick with the original formula.
