    Welcome to SRP

    I use the TOBS Sandalwood and St. James creams. They lather great, provide a good cushion, a good glide and smell great.

    As suggested, get a sample pack of TOBS.

    You can purchase some really expensive after shave balms for sensitive skin. Best value is Nivea Balms at the drug store. I am using the "Double Action".

    I think I'm the only person who doesn't like sandlewood, it just smells like my local barber shop to me. I don't hate it but I don't enjpy it. I use Jermyn St TOBS and think it smells great.

    I started using ToBS at Christmas. I had asked for it as a gift and my wife got it for me. I love the smell and it makes a great lather. Almost like a home made whipped cream (IMO). I think you will enjoy it.

    If for some strange reason you don't like it (which would surprise several people here) there are MANY other options to try out.

    Enjoy the journey

    Ya'll are great! I ordered a sample pack from a small business. I feel like they will deliver. I have taken note of all other products that have been mentioned and will try them. It makes me happy to see that there are so many people willing to give advice from experience, and then let me experience my own journey.

    I've tried several, and like the avocado and lavender the best. Many nice scents from TOBS.

    Used TOBS Sandalwood this morning. I still load to much on the brush. This soap is great.

    I have some issues with TOBS Grapefruit. Can't quite get it to work and the scent is almost non-existent. YMMV
