Taylor of Old Bond Street Classic Shaving Creams
[TBS-SC]

I've recently been using the Lavender, and I've (happily) had none of the problems some of the other reviewers have mentioned in respect of the water/cream ratio. I find this cream to be very easy to mix into a perfect lather, which provides great lubrication while shaving. Add to that a great scent and decent price and you've got a winner! (Oh, I bought the 75 ml sized cream from a local retailer - for almost the same price as the 150 ml tub here on Fendrihan. I guess I know where I'll be getting my next one...)

After trying a Cyril R. Salter, Geo F. Trumper, RSC, the Body Shop, and Taylor, I definitely will stick with Taylor's shaving cremes. I particularly like the sandalwood. The shave is excellent and the scent distinctively masculine without being dominant. You are looking for best bang for the buck and some exquisit shaving experience? Try the sandalwood shaving creme and aftershave gel.

I have been using the Lime for quite some time now. It soothing, and very easy to work with. It definitely lessens razor burn for me more than other creams.

Best shave I ever had! Goes on smooth with a shaving brush and smells fantastic, and best of all, no razor burn whatsoever which is a first for me. I suggest using the Eshave lavender after shave balm with it to keep your face feeling smooth all day. This product is worth every penny! You'll never go back to the cheap crap you find in a drug store after trying this.

I use both shaving soaps, and this Taylor of bond street when on the road. First of, the smell (Almond) is just delightful, however I noticed the more you use, the less it smells. The cream itself is thick, smooth and easy to apply, great for people with sensitive skin. Great value for the price, and makes good gift ideas for people who continue to use the shaving cream in the spray can.

I recently purchased the sandalwood in both the shave cream and the aftershave and I am truly impressed. I have tried Proraso, The Body Shop, eshave and Geo F. Trumpeter among some cheaper alternatives and have found this to be the best to date. I plan to continue through the Taylor's line up as the shave cream is of extremely high quality and the scent is delightful.

In regards to the rose scented cream, i can only say that this is a quality product. Thick, and rich cream that lathers very easily. The wrong water/cream ratio will leave you with something fluffy and dry, that gives no slide. Other than that little 'problem' (which every cream I've ever used has had) this is a great cream. The smell is fantastic too

I have a trust and preference for traditional, high quality soaps, from establish and proven European brands; but every once in a while I like to experiment and go outside of the box. I bought Old Taylors' rose cream and I was not disappointed. As I expected, these shaving creams are highly concentrated, and with a quality brush, you will get a thick, lathery and comfortable shave. The rose scent is pleasantly intoxicating, but not overly powerful. I consider the rose scent smell rather conflicting and feminine. I am only comfortable with the scent when I am wearing a classy suit and surrounded by family and friends, or if I am in an establishment where everyone are classically or smartly dressed. But what I like the most about the scent is that I notice that most the ladies, from the very young to very old, are positively and subtlety drawn to the scent; that makes me feel manly.

I recently purchased both the Rose and Sandalwood shave creams. These really are fantastic products, and I even open the tubs for an occasional whiff of either shave cream. A small amount on your brush will produce plenty of lather for 3-4 passes of your blade. I've read elsewhere that some reviewers did not like the tubs , and indeed they are a tad on the plain side. Still - the shave cream itself is a great, quality product.

Specifically regarding the Lavender, this is my first experience with this product and I'm not overly impressed. It's not a bad product but I personally don't like it as much as the old standby Proraso. However the smell is nice but subtle. It's also very sensitive to the amount of water you use, I've mixed it a couple of ways just to test this. Too little water and it's very "stiff" too much and it's runny and the range is very small. Either way it doesn't seem to lubricate as well as the Proraso either. If scent and price are more important than ease of use and lubrication this would be a good buy.
