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

I started shaving with a brush and safety razor about a year ago. I started with products from The Art of Shaving. Their cream (lavender) was hard, clumpy, and hard to lather. Taylor of Old Bonds Street Peppermint Shave Cream is awesome! It is creamy, smooth, and feels amazing on your skin. I get a much closer and smoother shave with this stuff than with the last cream I had. The peppermint oil leaves your face feeling cool and refreshed. I think Ive found my shave cream for life. -------------------------- Update (2 months later) I have been using this shaving cream for just a couple months, and it has worked magnificently. I normally shave 2-3 times a week, and when I do shave, I only use a small dime-sized portion of shaving cream on my brush. Using that amount over the last couple months, I have barely made a dent in the container. This stuff is going to last me a long time. What I have liked about this cream: - The smell is amazing - Even after two months, it still feels like butter (actually more like cool frosting) - The lather is thick and substantial - The stuff leaves your face feeling cool and refreshed (Note: I use a safety razor and a pre-shave oil before my shave)

A great shaving cream

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.

Tobh is great. This is my favorite shave cream so far. It does not have that menthol cooling effect, but it does have a great tingly fresh clean feeling to it. Ill rebuy this one next time. It lasts forever. I wont go into how great Tobh shave creams are. Others have summed it up a million times over. best shave cream ive ever used.

This is a very, in you your face, wake you up in the morning, feeling refreshed kinda peppermint. I love it. Huge peppermint shaving cream fan, ie proraso. This is easy lather to build like most tobs. The only other scent that tops this is the marzipan/almond/cherry like a cella. This gives great slickness and protection. Little goes a long way. I Would buy again.

I was determined to finish this bowl of shave cream... but just cant do it - into the trash it goes. I love their Grapefruit Shave Cream (

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.

Excellent shaving cream. A little goes a long way. I compared this to the Art of Shaving brand and this is a much better value. Larger container/same consistency/excellent fragrance.

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 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.
