Taylor of Old Bond Street150g Lavender Shaving Cream Bowl

I've been a wet shaver all my life, used to use Gilette shaving gel - ended up being a bit too expensive like their blades. I then swapped to a soap bowl and enjoyed that for a while but it never gave me the lather I was after then found this. I like TOOBS's products and this shaving cream is just perfect, it creates a smooth shaving surface for you blade to move along and I like it. It's creamy, luxurious and smells lovely.

This lather whips up very easily. An almond-sized amount with a few drops of hot water creates a thick, rich lather that cushions your face against the blade. It transports you to a time long gone with its scent and is a perfect addition to a classic, gentlemanly ritual of shaving with a safety/straight razor.

all good

The plastic bowl container looks very cheap...okay if this was intended as a 'refill' for the premium versionIt gives no hint whatsoever that you have just forked out a lot of money and are lrft with a container that could be for swarfega hand cleaner until you see the scroll on the lidI dont know if Taylors makes these to a generic size to fit the premium bowl they sell, its not obvious on Amazon or on Taylors siteI trawled around the site looking for a similarly scented post-shave balm etc as Taylors offer for Cedarwood Sandalwood scented options but no joyThats not the customer experience I expected from the super high-end TaylorsBut it if you only want the shave cream, its superb and different but I think Taylors missed a trick

Great quality and strong nice sandalwood aroma.

Taylor’s of old Bond Street have been making shaving products for over 100 years and this sandlewood fragranced cream lathers up really quickly and makes a lovely thick product. I bought this in January and it’s now September and I am just running out so if you want great shaves and value for money then this ticks all the boxes.

Smooth and creamy.

leaves your skin feeling great.

Creme fantástico! Desempenho superior a maioria dos cremes que já usei. A fragrância é sensacional! Recomendo muito a aquisição!

chegou bem antes do prazo, veio bem embalado, quanto ao aroma cheira a coco, nada além disso! ótimo produto recomendo

First of all I liked the smell of this cream , went smooth on My face , foamed real good , smooth shave

Let there be no mistake that the quality of one’s shave is largely dependent upon the quality of one’s shaving apparatus. This is known. For a long spell, I believed that switching from cartridge razors to safety razors was a night and day difference which would lead me to the promised land, and by comparison, I was correct. And yet, this shaving cream has led me to one irrefutable conclusion; the quality of the shaving cream is just as crucial. I have not had such silky smooth skin since I was prepubescent. I am graced with the fragrance of noble kings of yore. I am purified, reborn with the vexing remission of self hatred in favor of the sensation that I am a human of spectacular calibre as an intoxicating scent of grandeur and beauty permeates my very being. This is perhaps the finest shaving cream I have ever known, and has led me to the compounding discovery that the purpose and utilization of loathsome Barbasol is, for lack of a better word, flagellation. Do not loathe and punish yourself with lesser shaving lubricants. Use this spectacular whipped sandalwood cream. It smells so good you will not want to use aftershave, and so fine is its quality that it may well not be necessary to soothe one’s aching inflamed skin, for this cream is to sensitive flesh what water is to a man dying of thirst.Ten out of ten.

I purchased two shaving cream from this seller but ended up getting three.When I placed an order second time I received the wrong scent (instead of The st.James collection I got mr.Taylors).The seller kindly agreed to send me the right scent and keep the wrong one without extra pay.The st. James collection scent is not overwhelmed it has the notes of bergamot and vanilla.It suits me well and I enjoy the magnificent scent.Excellent customer service. Highly recommend.
