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

Im a long time user of TOBS cream, tried maybe a half dozen varieties and after a few shaves think this might be my favorite. Its got a great tingle to it, not too much but very refreshing. Give it a try. My second favorite is probably the avocado scent.

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 for about 2 years now, and its hands down the best I have tried. The scent is both rich and not overpowering (though the peppermint may make your eyes water if you use too much, learned that quick!), with a very smooth feel before and after the shave. If recommend its use for safety razor and modern razor usage. A soft badger hair brush is recommended, as it didnt seem to lather as easily with my boar bristle brush. Overall its my favorite, and a great treat to start your day off right.

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 quickly became my favorite shave soap. Lathers well and smells great. Also has a nice cooling sensation. I have sensitive skin and have not had any negative reactions in the 10+ times Ive already used it.

If you love mint, you will love this shaving cream. Excellent quality and it will now forever be used by me. I LOVE it. Makes me feel like its Christmas morning ANY day of the week!

Anything mentholated/minty is typically known to not be the best for people with sensitive skin, but I absolutely *love* the scent of peppermint, so I needed to try this out. I ended using this practically every single time I shaved since there was no irritation and the shave was close. The scent is incredible too, needless to say. Again, peppermint isnt the best for sensitive skin, so if you do have incredibly sensitive skin that has already shown to be easily irritated by menthol, perhaps try the sensitive skin line of the Taylor of Old Bond Street instead.

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.
