I am falling in love with their smells and products.
Has anyone tried Taylors No. 74 Cologne? The original not the limes. What does it compare to? I can't find much about it.
And wondering who has the most tons smells in their collection. I currently use St James and Jermyn Street.
I have Sandlewood and it smells great and gives a first rate shave. TOBS will definitely be a product I will buy in the future.
I just got the TOBS sandalwood last week, it is freakin' awesome! The scent is great, and I swear my shaves have improved since I started using it!
Shaving shop and avocado. Love em both.
I have Eton College an St James. an just ordered the sampler pack of the rest last night. Still a DR harris guy but very impressed with TOBS!
almond and lavender. almond is great! lathers well and smells a dream. lavender, not so much. smell is meh. lather is ok, but not as good as the almond for some reason.
I have sampled their colognes and AS's but now that I think of it I don't have any in my collection. I don't recall being disappointed by any that I've sampled.
That reminds me, there's a shop here in my fair city that sells TOBS, maybe I"ll have to pay them a visit sooner rather than later... :)
I just got TOBS Jermin Street soap and shaving cream. Find this scent extremely soothing and sophisticated. I use a small amount of this cream to enhance the soap lather - works wonderfully!
I hope it's better than the Coates Almond, I shaved with that this morning and it's like shaving with Marzipan which isn't really my cup.Quote:

I've only used the Grapefruit. Love it. Will buy more TOBS varieties in the future.
Thanks ObieQuote:

It's quite a pleasant aftershave, and I'm sure you'll like it. I have used it for years, mostly during warm weather, and will continue to do so.
As a side note, another delightful citrus you might like is Caswell-Massey's No. 6 aftershave. While not as complex at Taylor's, it is quite pleasing nevertheless.
Eton College is my favorite of my collection
Can you or somebody else describe the scent, lasting and lather of this kind? Much appreciated, my Grapefruit is receding. :(Quote:

Yeah I agree with you CMmoore. The eton is a citrusy scent but has a gentlemans touch. Nice fragrance an as with all TOBS the performance is great! Only scent I have found that has any real lasting power is sandalwood though. Adding the aftershave helps. I used sandalwood today an it lingered around most of the afternoon. Still haven't picked a fav yet. So far I have tried all the scents in the sampler. Also have eton an st james in large quantity in rotation. You honestly cant go wrong with these.
I'm hooked on of the TOBS sandalwood product line. From the bath & hair shampoo with the bath & shower gel to start moving on to pre shave oil scuttle prepped shave cream followed by TOBS alum block followed ASL splash and then a rub in ASG. :nj
Now that's dedication to a scent! I do good to use the matching aftershave LOL :chapeauQuote:
