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

This review is for the peppermint. The cream has a nice smell, and feels great on the skin. I use this cream by scooping a small amount with one or two fingers into a bowl and then work it into a lather with a brush. I then allow the cream to sit on my skin for 2 minutes to soften the hair and skin and it results in a perfect shave. This stuff leaves my skin feeling nice and the peppermint adds a nice cooling sensation during and afterwards.

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.

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 shaving cream! The peppermint obviously acts as a cooling refresher during and after the shave. I do not make a frothy soap with a mug, instead I just wet my hands and take a glob and apply the way one would with shaving cream from a can. I use a safety razor, and blades alongside this shaving cream. I just do not use a brush and mug for my convenience and limited bathroom area. I would recommend this brand, and this scent. I may purchase more in the future, if it continues to do well. :_)

LOVE THE SMELL AND FEEL

Years back I got into shaving with a straight razor because I have sensitive skin and shaving made my one I break out. And I tried lots of shave soaps. No really. Lots. Taylor of old bond st - everything they make- smells amazing. A smoother shave than most. And clean skin after. The peppermint I thought would be refreshing coming off a cold winter and with spring rolling around. I wasn’t wrong.

I have several TOBS soaps and they all perform well, but the Peppermint is by far my absolute favorite. The cooling effect of the soap on the skin is like having a good level of menthol without being over the top, which is truly a plus in my book. The scent is clean and pure Peppermint, you know its there as soon as you open it. After a great shave you are left with a cool moist skin feel. You can pair this scent with many of your favorite aftershaves without any problem.......It Is a Keeper.

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.

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 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 (
