Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Shaving Cream Bowl, 5.3-Ounce 2PK

The best.

The best of the best.

This as you can see or have known is set the best seller on Amazon, this cream was my first ever purchase as a shaver. In fact I ordered two tubs. After finishing one off and started with the other I decided to write a review. To the ones new to this product , TOBS are a well known British company in the shaving and mens grooming world. You can. Rowan all their products or even goose to visit them in person in London. Cutting off to the chase, this is not my favorite sandalwood scent, anyone who knows me know that my favorite is The discontinued Art of Shaving sandalwood tallow soap. The difference between the two is huge in terms of the scent, yet both are great performers and provide great slickness and cushion to the face. The scent on this is more medicinal though its not earthy, it does have a fresh scent and to my personal taste its more modern. Its not powdery. I tried all sorts of brushes while using this cream and to me, there is something of a miracle that happens when you use a boar bristle brush with this. There is no need to use a lot to create an amazing lather. I usually load this cream from the tub, just a couple of swirls and I am ready to go. The smell strength is 5 out of ten. For those that like a subtle balance of scent while they are shaving , this cream is a gem. The lather doesnt dry up and its quite a pleasant rich white sheen. This cream is close to my heart because I accomplished the first holy grail shave with. You can look up my reviews on the products I will mention below to see and get to know each factor of my special shave that I have accomplished. I never get rid of empty tubs and I use them with other soaps in my den. I usually get refill pucks and I usually end up putting them in those tubs. For those that care about the packaging details, the wordings and details tend to fall off after the use. They are printed on the tub. For the price this is a great product and one that will last you a long while. The cream never fades in smell and this particular product is great to bowl lather with. My holy grail shave below: shave on! - soap : TOBS sandalwood - razor : MUHLE R41 - blade : KAI - brush : Omega boar bristle - pre shave : Proraso green

I love this stuff!!! I mix it in a shaving bowl with just a little water and its perfect. Great smell, great lather, smooth shave.

I’ve ordered Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving cream for a long time l. I really enjoy the product. This time, when it arrived, I saw that the container lid was broken (it had to have been packed that way, as the missing piece was not in the box, and the packing material was very good). When I opened the container, it was not full. See attached photos...

This is a very nice thick shaving cream that wont drip. I shave my head so runny soap is not useful. It is a quality product BUT the scent has nothing to do with Sandalwood. Not even remotely close. For the price point, they nought to be more honest about the scent. Its rather sharp and almost citrus, far from the deep subtle scent of Sandalwood.

The Best shaving cream on market. Use with brush to leather on and the softness of my husbands face, is exactly what a man wants. He face smells amazing, with the sandlewood scent. I have bought this for the last 4 years and all others are no comparison. It last a long time. Putting some in the bowl. I wouldnt buy any other product.

I love this stuff, the smell is one of my favorites and really makes my face soft and not dry afterwards. It lathers really nicely and gives a great slickness for your shave.

This is the real stuff, lathers great and smells good

Love love love this. I keep coming back here to buy this because I cannot find it anywhere else. My husband absolutely adores everything about this shaving cream, doesnt want any others, and I am obsessed with the fresh and lightly masculine scent it gives my husbands skin. Great quality too and each container lasts many many months because a little truly does go a long ways. Highly recommended.
