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

I Bought this for my son and he loves it. I use the Rose scent myself and am very pleased.. I like the fact that there is a huge variety of scents available

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.

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. :_)

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 has a good smell, and decent later. This is the second time I have received it with the plastic tub smashed in shipping.

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.

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 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.

Smells great perfect lather...

I bought this shaving cream a few months ago as an add to a larger order in order to qualify for free shipping. I have to say Im pretty happy with it. When using a shaving brush it lathers up nicely and helps achieve a smooth shave. It also has a nice clean scent of peppermint. The peppermint scent doesnt last too long and wont overpower your aftershave or cologne.
