I’ve been using shaving soaps for the past 11 or 12 years and decided to try something new. I picked up some Taylor of Old Bond Street Mr. Taylor scented shaving cream. This morning was my first shave with it. It didn’t take much to get a good lather - and it lathered up fast! It had a good consistency and was decently slick. But as soon as the lather was removed, a subsequent pass of the razor was met with some friction. Luckily I had plenty of lather on my brush so I made sure to just go over my skin once then brushed on a bit more where I needed another swipe of the razor. The scent is nice and manly smelling. Strong but not over powering. I didn’t apply any aftershave lotion and the scent stuck around for an hour or more. My skin never dried out. All in all I’m pleased with it. |

I've got some TOBS, well two at the moment, sandalwood and also peppermint, which is my favorite. I was just thinking earlier I need to try a few more flavors. With both I dont even have to use aftershave lotion. Just ordered some Eton College to try it out |

I want to try more of their scents but it’s difficult to decide when I’ve never smelled them. Certain smells give me headaches so I’d hate to drop $20+ on some shaving stuff I couldn’t use. I took a gamble with the Mr Taylor scent and it paid off but a sample pack would be great. |

I'm about to run out of sandalwood and will probably get more but I have a million others I should get through. Since I started having a beard I shave way less and don't use it up very quickly and soaps last forever anyway. I live close enough to Maggard's that I can go a couple times per year and actually smell everything. |
