Thanked: 485Taylor of Old Bond Street Rose is really nice. You need only the smallest amount to produce a really nice 'oomphy' lather very quickly...
Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?

Thanked: 49I think you are doing yourself a disservice if you don't at least try the Proraso products(C. O. Bigelow is Proraso green re-branded). They are about $10 for a tube or tub if you want to try the soap. IMHO they cannot be beat at that price point. They have a sandalwood, but it is really nothing like TOBS sandalwood. For me that is a good thing, but you seem to like it quite well so as we say: YMMV. There are some other great TOBS creams. You can get a sample pack from Maggard Razors. I think Garry's sample shop has TOBS as well. You can try lots of creams for a reasonable price and you are not stuck with a bunch of creams you don't care for. Good luck.

Thanked: 1185I'm generally a soap guy so my experience with creams is relatively limited. However the two that I can speak intelligently on is C.O. Bigelow and TOBS Eton College. I dig them both I've been promising myself for ages to have a shaving cream fest very soon. Of course the aforementioned will be in the rotation. I've also had my eye on TOBS Grapefruit, Coconut, La Toja, Spieck for quite some time . I think I'd like to spend a few months checking out some creams beginning in the Fall. Although there are undoubtedly some fine products on my list, I doubt there is any threat of any of them unseating MWF or Tabac soap as my go to. Oh yeah, and one I couldnt not mention is Cella. Although it's more a soft soap than it is a cream it is an absolutely wonderful product.
