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

IMO Taylor of Old Bond Street makes some of the best shave cream products on the market. The Peppermint scent is one of my favorites, but I have tried many of them and there are few I would not re-order.

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.

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.

Great scent. Feels very refreshing and cooling on the skin. Only complaint I have is it tends to dry up a bit quick on the opposite side of my face that I start from. Definitely not a deal breaker though.

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.

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.

Everything Was Great

I very rarely write reviews for items I purchase on Amazon however I am so satisfied with This saving cream that I had too write a review. This shaving cream lathers vey quickly and with very little cream. The peppermint cream allows for a smooth shave and leaves the face feeling refreshed. I would highly recommend this product and I know I will purchase again myself!

Exceptional product. After using Art of Shaving for several years I became annoyed with the lack of inventory and repeated “out of stock” messages. I researched and found this. First, it is a thicker, more solid product. I like this, it keeps me from overusing. A little water on the brush and it’s perfect. It doesn’t take much. Has a great smell and while I can’t say it tingles when used, I do use a pre shave oil. After the shave I do feel the effect of the peppermint. I also sense it when used on areas of my face that have no pre shave oil. Great product. Don’t be confused by the reviews that talk about how hard or solid the product is.
