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

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

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.

Cream lathers very quickly and soothes against razor burns!

Exactly why I ordered this shaving cream. The peppermint smell is absolutely amazing. I have been using The Art of Shaving shaving cream for several years and thought I would give Taylor of Old Bond Street a try. I had read a previous comment that stated the peppermint shaving cream was a bit more heavy. That comment is spot on. It takes a bit more water to get a good foaming going. As for a comparison between AOS and TOBS. The ingredients are almost identical. I do believe that the AOS is smoother and goes on my face with a brush better than the TOBS. However, I take into account the comment from a previous person mentioned above. With that said, it really boils down to cost. And I have to say I am tired of paying AOS prices. And again, the peppermint scent is a big, big win! I would very much like to try other scents by TOBS but I don’t think it could get any better than the peppermint. So, I am officially changing from AOS to TOBS.

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.

Love the lather and the smell of this stuff!! I use many different products as I like to change things up almost every morning. This one is one of my favorites!!

Due to some vendors chicanery, I no longer give 5-star reviews. That being said, this item is worth a 5-star review. This is a typical TOBS product - you truly get what you pay for. Like all TOBS shave creams, a little goes a long way. I LOVE this peppermint scent! This will definitely make my rotation multiple times a week. I cant say enough about TOBS shave cream, its slick, good for sensitive skin, and smells wonderful! I bought a TOBS sampler pack recently and this was one of my favorites.

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!

I am new to wet shaving and using a DE safety razor. After 2 shaves, the smell of peppermint is wonderful but not overbearing. The tingling sensation is felt on my face and feels nice, which I do not think it is irritating my skin at all. I use this with Proraso pre-shave cream for sensitive skin, Wikinson Sword Classic DE razor blades, alum block afterwards and Nivea post shave balm for sensitive skin. The shaving cream has not dried out for me, like others have stated, and it lathers up well with a bowl & brush. I do want to try other scents from TOBS. ONLY negative as others have experienced: mine was only about half full.

This is my first outing with this brand and Im very pleased. Great scent and a just a little tingly on the skin, I assume due to the peppermint oil. Although, just enough to be a pleasant sensation. I cant imagine it would even bother those with sensitive skin. Id definitely purchase this again.
