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

A little goes a long way. Powerful scent. Great product.

Wow, there is so much I want to say about this product that I find it hard to begin, so lets start at the beginning... I got into traditional wet shaving about 6 months ago, I finally got tired of paying ridiculous amounts of money for multi blade cartridges that, while they did their job rather well, would only last me for 8 or maybe 10 shaves at the most. that is because I have a very hard, coarse and thick beard, and because of my job I have to be clean shaven every day. So, after reading and watching some videos about wet shaving on youtube, I decided to go to my local Target store ( I live in San Diego, Ca.) and got myself a van der haagen butterfly open safety razor, some blades, and a van der haagen shaving kit that included a shaving bowl, a badger hair brush and a shaving soap... I immediately noticed a great difference compared to the cartridges, I got a very close shave with minimal irritation, and, making my own foam with the brush and shaving soap really was a great experience, and, compared to the canned stuff I was using before, the soap felt very different in a great way. That soap lasted for about six months, I came to amazon looking for a shaving cream (looked for shaving cream in Target but they do not carry it) and decided to give Taylor of Old Bond Street peppermint shaving cream a go after reading some reviews, I also got a tub of Proraso sandalwood pre shave cream... and after coming out of the shower, I wetted my face with hot water, rubbed a bit of the Proraso pre-shave cream, took my brush and just got a litte bit of TOBS cream on the tips and started making lather on my shaving bowl... and the results where AMAZING!! Just a litte bit of cream on the tips of my brush created more than enough thick, rich, warm, creamy lather with a fantastic, delicious smell, I applied it to my face and it just felt great, again, the smell was intense and fresh and delicious and, at least to me, the combination of that scent and the sweet woody and earthy scent of the Proraso pre-shave cream was just fantastic, when applied to my face, it felt like cream and I felt the invigorating kick of the peppermint. The difference between this cream and the soap I was previously using is enormous, and, compared to the canned stuff I was using for 20 years up to 6 months ago is just... abismal!! I was a bit worried that the scent would be a bit overbearing, or that the peppermint in the cream would be so strong that it would burn my face, but that was not the case, when youre whipping up this stuff and when you put it in your face, the scent is strong without being overbearing and once you are done and you rinse your face, you are left with a little bit of the scent and a fresh feeling. I totally recommend this product, I like it so much, that I will get some for my brothers and for my dad.

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.

I have used this product in various fragrances for several years. To me it seems better and better value than the Art of Shaving equivalent product i was using prior.

This is the first shave cream that I have bought. I have subsisted on shave SOAPS until now. However, I am thoroughly pleased with the results of this cream. It has a wonderfully peppermint-y scent that does not cross over into smelling medicine-y like some other soaps or creams. It also does a great job of moisturizing and protecting my face while proving a smooth shave surface for my DE razor. Just a little bit (an amount about the size of my pinky nail) works for a whole shave, so this tub will last months! One side effect, that I dont mind at all, is the cool sensation that it puts on your face. Almost like a menthol feel. I think it feels great, but wanted to make sure that other knew ahead of time. PROS: Great product with a great scent! CONS: Some might not like the cooling menthol feel. Final Say: Definitely no hesitation in recommending this product to any wet shaver.

Great product. Smooth skin and makes your skin shine. Smells great on skin, tingles. Creamy and a little goes a looong way. Large volume so it will last a long time before running out. This is literally the best shave cream I’ve EVER used in the 40 years I’ve been shaving. Couldn’t be happier with with product. Finally..,,,,

Theres a cool breeze in town. This shaving cream is so cool and soothing and smells like Christmas. Some people worry about smelling like a candy cane but to them I say this is shaving cream, not cologne. Unless you drab it on like a psychopath you will shortly smell like normal human male. I have now tried almost all of Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving creams and the peppermint is my favorite by far. IT is super thick and a little bit can get a thick lather for three shaves easily. The scent is amazing and the cool soothing sensation almost makes shaving a delight (almost). For the record, I do like some othe rTaylor of Old Bond products too, including: St Jermyn Almond Mr. Taylor Rose Coconut But this is by far the best. Take the risk, go with peppermint.

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!

Rich lather, creamy feel and very soothing.

Sublime and very natural peppermint scent, great feel on the face while shaving and afterwards. Classic Old Taylor thick and generous lather, too. Makes shaving a real pleasure and never a chore.
