Greater than one weekTobs makes great shaving products. Ill begin with the cons, and then looks at the pros. Cons: - the scent. It really smells like a cheap cologne that you get at un-named stores in the malls that sell knock-offs of good perfumes for under $10. Yes, it is that bad. I would loathe to smell like that. I have a thing for high quality perfumes and I am sensitive to things that smell cheap. And the smell is strong (almost ALL of tobs shaving creams are strongly scented). I normally shave and wash my face with water numerous times to be rid of it. I love this product and would like to use it more frequently, but each time I open it and smell it, I change my mind. Too bad. Pros: - fantastic product. Whips up a thick, creamy lather. Makes for a wonderful, close shave. Leaves my skin shiny and glowy (no dryness) afterwards. Trust this product with its quality. It wont disappoint. I really wish they re-work their smell line. If you hate cheap strong colognes, stay away from this one.

> 3 dayI like to experiment with products like these, but its going to be really difficult to try something new after Im through with this one. The scent is perfect, the soap is surprisingly well whipped, not hard like most shaving soaps. Lathers like a champ and my skin liked it too. My new favorite.

> 3 daythe scent is not too strong so really like it, though i might want to try the sandalwood one too. this is my first time using shaving cream instead of the gel from cans, and so far i like it. very smooth and makes the razor (both double edge and disposable) flow nicely.

> 3 dayThe product itself is good. The cream is thick, but spreads easily and enables a smooth shave free of tugging hairs. I have given the product 2 stars because I simply did not receive what I paid for. The pictures attest that a significant amount of cream is missing from the container upon opening.

> 3 dayThis is my second tub of Taylor of Old Bond, but my first time trying Jermyn Street Luxury. It has a masculine scent that is not too overwhelming. Compared to my Jack Black shaving cream, I prefer Taylor of Old Bond, because it helps give me a close shave without irritation or ingrown hairs. I use a shaving brush to distribute the shaving cream, and it works well with my electric razor (submersible and rinsable) and my blade razor.

> 3 dayI have been Double Edge shaving for a few months now, ditching the 5 blade mega ultra vibrating head with kung-fu grip razors. I had started with shave soaps, but found it left my skin feeling dry afterward. This would also leave my face a little irritated from the shave. I selected the Jermyn street cream based on the reviews and I was not disappointed. The fragrance is a delight, it lathers well and allows the blade to move a lot smoother than the soaps did. This left me with no irritation after the shave. I plan on adding the Jermyn street aftershave to my medicine cabinet as well, sense the fragrance is so nice.

> 3 dayThe TOBS line is the probably the best shaving cream available for the money. Ive used Mr. Taylor for years, as well as the Almond, Sandlewood and other scents. I switched to Sensitive Skin recently and was not disappointed. All TOBS creams are pretty much equally thick lather, so for me it just comes down to differences in smell. The Sensitive Skin has a slightly silkier consistency than the older shave creams in the TOBS line. I have not used the Eton variety, so cant speak to its qualities. I would describe the smell of Sensitive Skin as more reminiscent of a modern, high-end cologne smell (though very subtle and not overpowering). It is a crisp, clean smell. To me, the TOBS Mr. Taylor is more like a traditional old man barber shop smell (I absolutely love it too), while the Sandlewood smells like sweet spicy leather and the Almond smells to me literally like an almond, or perhaps the cherry almond smell you find in the shampoo and handsoap of some old-fashioned hotels. I love all of these fragrances, and they remind me of the old traditional barber shops and clubs of London. The only one Im not extremely fond of is Rose, which in my admittedly limited experience smelt more like an old aunt than a rugged old man smell. Great products all, will use them for life -- you really cant go wrong.

> 3 dayThis product is amazing! It is so effective, that one bottle is good for about 150 shaves, and as much as shaving is a chore, it makes it much easier, and is, indeed, very good for my delicate skin! Buy, buy, buy! I got two - sorted for the next 2 years...
