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

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.

This is the only brand of shaving cream that I use. It works perfectly with a DE razor, and you only need a tiny bit to work into a rich lather. This was my first time using the Peppermint variety and it was really refreshing. The scent is exactly as youd expect but not overpowering. Gives you a bit of that tingling feeling as well. Not much else to say - if you havent tried this brand yet, go for it - you will not regret it.

I bought the peppermint variety of TofOBS shave cream. The reviews made it sound as if the old way of doing business is far better than the canned shave cream. I am not seeing it. Ill give them the post shave cooling effect was good. But other than that, the can is far better. Using shave creams adds 5 steps to the ritual. And creates a much bigger clean up effort. I will finish off this tub then return to canned shave cream. Write it off as a bad idea listening to a group of over zealots. Maybe I can use the bowl for small breakfasts. And Ill use the brush to dust off my defunct manual toothbrushes. Good luck with yr decision.

Rich lather, creamy feel and very soothing.

I wasnt sure whether I would like it or not, but I love it. I have been using the Sandalwood version for a while and love that scent. And while the peppermint is pleasant and refreshing, I love that it feels like tea tree oil on the skin. Leaves a very nice, refreshing tingle while shaving! I also like that after I rinse, the scent and sensation dissipate. No sense in smelling like a candy cane all day! :)

Simply the best! The scent is more towards peppermint candy than peppermint leaf. There is a tingle when applied. Nice clean scent but not overbearing. Light enough to pair with most aftershaves. Small amount lathers excellent with enough slick. Highly recommend.

Switching from cartridge to double edge is an easy transition so long as you follow some best practices, (good razor, blades to match your beard and...), a good quality soap or cream. I have always preferred the tingle of a good menthol shave cream, so when I spied the peppermint TOBS I decided to give it a try. First: The point of the shave cream is to provide adequate lubrication. This product performed extremely well, and beyond my expectation. It is forgiving... if your mix is a little thin, or even a bit stiff, there is enough tolerance in this product that you will not suffer for it. 45 seconds to a minute in a bowl with a brush and you will have a lather second to none. Second: PEPPERMINT. Having been a fan of menthol creams out of a can, I was absolutely delighted with this cream. Aside from the cool sensation, the crisp scent added a bonus. Ive never been one for the heavy fruity odors or sandalwood aromas. I just got out of the shower and am thinking CLEAN. There is no after-image of peppermint. After you rinse and pat dry, there is a tingle that is gone along with the peppermint scent in a minute or two. Excellent. Lastly: I am somewhat new to safety razor shaving after 40+ years with electric then cartridge. You owe it to yourself to take a chore and turn it into a manly moment of pleasure.

This product does leave you with a slight cool sensation and smells minty nice (not over powering) I find it works great with my series 7 Braun on electric wet shave and/or with a razor (I use an old fashion safety blade). Sometimes I use both, electric first and touch up with a razor in some spots electric just doesnt hit well for some reason (minor spots on neck). It just feels good that way for me as I feel like Im getting a cool face massage with the electric razor. Sometime I just use a razor. Either way the product (any scent) is outstanding. All of the shave creams by Taylor I have found to be outstanding. I just prefer this scent and the cool feeling after. I rub on with my fingers to apply to wet face when doing an electric wet shave and use a brush when I just use a razor as I find this gives the right lather style for each. With the amount needed for a shave (dime size) one of these tubs usually lasts me a couple months or more. Sometimes I dont shave on weekends. I will buy again, over and over. I rarely write reviews but this one is deserving.
