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

Strong, pleasing scent that fades in a very rich foam. The product lathers quickly and is thick, sticking around plenty long enough to complete your shave. Ive been using Castle Forbes and find this product to be on par for less money.

Sublime and very natural peppermint scent, great feel on the face while shaving and afterwards. Classic Old Taylor thick and generous lather, too. Makes shaving a real pleasure and never a chore.

Used this the day I got it. The smell and feel of this on my face was a pleasant surprise. It does not take much to load your brush so go gentle on that part. Besides that will be buying this one again.

I’ve been using this project since 2017. Haven’t bought anything else since. Love this shave butter.

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.

PROS: Foams up very quickly so it doesnt take 1+ mins to lather up like some other soaps. Cost efficient. CONS: Sometimes the lather will get sticky when on face. This can be fixed by using more water when lathering. NEUTRAL: The peppermint smell is not subtle, its sweet like candy, so expect that. 4/5

First off for perspective, I switched to traditional shaving with a safety razor & brush for well over a year now; very happy to have made that decision & would definitely encourage folks to try it. Theres a difference in initial acquisition cost but in the long run I feel that it is far cheaper & better for your face (i.e. you can pick up blades for 10-14 cents apiece in most cases. So a pack of 100 blades for 10-15 bucks, with 4-5 shaves per blade, will last you a long time. I shave every day, so a pack of 100 will last me a year & a half). Now for this particular cream. I have the Taylor Sandalwood Shaving Cream & was very pleased with the results. So I decided to try and pick up another Taylor cream. I was drawn to the Peppermint in a novelty sort of way; I didnt know what to expect, but I was willing to give it a try. After a couple of uses I am very pleased with the results. When you first apply it to your face, it takes a few moments before you really feel the icey peppermint effect. The smell is wonderful & enjoyable. Generally, I find shaving creams based in England to be very enjoyable (I also use Geo F. Trumpers) when compared to American based creams. Soaps are not my style, but for each man hell have his own preference. As it stands, would recommend the Taylor of Old Bond Street Peppermint Shave Cream to anyone.

Cream lathers very quickly and soothes against razor burns!

I just used for the first time. This Shaving Cream is excellent. I used it w/ a shaving brush, oil, and safety blade. This is a pretty major upgrade over prior cream i used. It lathers very well, just note the brush will easily pick up more than you need. Good consistency and easy to make an even coat. The scent is as advertised and smells pretty close to pepper mint. My favorite part is a very pleasant tingle after so your face just feels fresh and clean. I havent tried every shaving cream but im putting easy into top three.

Smell is the strong and lathers great. I wouldnt recommend as a daily use cuz its pretty minty, unless thats your thing. I bought this for hubs for fathers day & used it myself to shave my legs. So tingly and love how it lathered! My legs were friggin smooooth! Yes, ladies can use this too!!
