> 3 dayThe best of the best shaving cream. Smells just like the creams used in barber shops. Lathers well, goes on easy, and just smells great.

> 3 dayPerforms well, but smells terrible; a cross between old soap and puke. Wont buy this product again.

> 3 dayIve been wet shaving for about 14 years and Ive tried quite a few different brands of soaps and creams at various price points; Col.Conks, West Coast Shaving, Proraso, Sir Hare, Lather & Wood, Cremo, and others I cant remember. Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood has made the best impression on me of all of them right out of the gate. Ive shaved with it twice now and its absolutely wonderful. Just a small amount on a wet, shaken-out badger brush, add just a few drops of hot water from a dripping faucet, and lather it right on your face. Has smooth, easy coverage that has staying power, and it stays put until Im done with the first pass. Then I lather again and it does the same thing. It has a nice, creamy feel, and it feels like its nourishing your skin. The sandalwood scent is noticeable as soon as I open the container, and it lingers on my face long after Im done shaving. Also leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth for a long time as well. Im very happy with this product, and I wish I had bought some years ago. I think Ive finally found the brand Ill stay with for life. They make so many different scents, there can always be some variety. As long as a tub lasts, it will take me years to try them all. Every other soap Ive used has shown some shortcoming by the second use, but not this stuff. UPDATE - Oct. 20, 2019 - I read some negative reviews for this product, saying its possibly fake, smells perfumey, like chemicals, or nothing like sandalwood, etc. I dont know what they may have received, and if they did get a non-authentic product I feel for them, and say shame on Amazon. I continue to love this shave cream. It lathers beautifully whether you do it on your face, in a bowl, or in your hand. Just a little bit of the cream (way less than you may think youll need) on the tips of your damp brush and youre good to go. Some days I get whiffs of the sandalwood scent five or six hours after I shaved, and I usually take a shower after I shave, unlike a lot of people. But when I shower after shaving with this stuff I try not to wash my face too much so I dont wash away the scent, because it smells so good to me. My face is already clean anyway, I just applied shaving soap to it twice :-). It makes my skin feel great too...smooth and nourished, like it made my skin happy. This is good stuff, maybe the best shaving cream/soap there is in my opinion, and if youre not happy with it, the only reason I can see is that you must have gotten a fake version of the product. Try ordering some from a dedicated shaving website or direct from the manufacturer and see if you like it. This stuff is too good to pass up, and is just a great product to use for something as common and ubiquitous as shaving. It can really improve a mundane, everyday part of your life and make it more enjoyable.

> 3 dayThe best of the shaving cream for shaving brush, especially for travel since you can screw top back on. FYI, I initially thought this would last only a brief time, but trial and error shows you can use less on your brush than I thought originally, so this one actually can last a long time.

> 3 dayOne of the best shaving creams that I have use. Better than the stuff they sell at Art of Shaving and much cheaper. Make sure you use a good badger brush for best results.
