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

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.

Just great

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.

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.

Due to some vendors chicanery, I no longer give 5-star reviews. That being said, this item is worth a 5-star review. This is a typical TOBS product - you truly get what you pay for. Like all TOBS shave creams, a little goes a long way. I LOVE this peppermint scent! This will definitely make my rotation multiple times a week. I cant say enough about TOBS shave cream, its slick, good for sensitive skin, and smells wonderful! I bought a TOBS sampler pack recently and this was one of my favorites.

I love peppermint washes and creams and this shave cream surely does not fall short in letting you know you are in fact shaving with a peppermint cream through scent and sensation. It has the warming sensation that typically accompanies peppermint, a nice little morning wake me up in addition your coffee. It also coats and lathers extremely well especially compared to Proraso creams. You only need to dab just the tiniest amount on your brush to get it going after wetting the brush. It is not however as gentle and nourishing as Proraso creams as it does leave one of those slightly sticky films on your skin that will linger unless you treat with a moisturizing cream thereafter. Overall, a great shave soap/cream option to add to your wet shaving repertoire.

I use a safety razor every 2 days and I have been pleased with this shaving cream. Most creams this thick gum up and prevent the razor from getting close enough to the skin. This one doesnt. The consistency is adjustable from a thick layer for long hair to a thin layer (that still sticks!) for a reverse pass. The peppermint smell is strong but natural.

Wow. This shaving cream is awesome. If this doesnt wake you up in the morning I dont know what will. Lathers great and feels even better when you splash some cold water on your face. It has a little more cooling effect than Proraso green. Im now addicted to way menthol and/or peppermint creams feel when you finish your shave. I have two more tubs of these on reserve just so theres no risk of running out. Literally like shaving with Altoids. Get some.

This stuff is AWESOME! I love the scent and the minty tingle. It whips up into a very nice lather, and is really the most enjoyable and exhilarating shave cream Ive ever used. Once washed off the scent is pretty much gone; It doesnt linger around like some cheap cologne. How did I not know about this shave cream sooner? Youve got to give it a try! Update: Ive been using this stuff for a while now and I really love it! However, I stocked up and purchased a new batch in Oct. 2016 and just now, two months later, cracked into it. It has a slight off smell to it... I cant quite place it but Im leaning towards a metallic smell. And it doesnt whip up at all. It feels sticky on the skin. Unfortunately I missed the return window. I dont know if I got a counterfeit batch, a bad batch, or what, but Im terribly bummed. I may need to source this stuff from somewhere else if it is going to be sold by different sellers and it is inconsistent.

Not my favorite but a nice scent, about as strong as the sandalwood. It works just like all of the other TOBS, so no complaints. I havent asked my girlfriend for an option yet as Ive only used it a couple of times and didnt see her when it was fresh... I suppose that will be the final test to see if its a keeper...
