    Default taylor of old bond street?

    I am looking at ordering one or 2 of the shave creams they offer. Ive never tried any of them, and I would like to hear what you might have to say about it. not necessarily the good things. . . but rather the things you maybe werent to impressed with. now I fully understand that everyones skin is different and that all shave techniques differ and that my experience may be totally different than someone elses, but if you could humor me, Id like to hear what you got.

    TOBS coconut was the cream I bought when I started using a straight razor. It tended to dry out on me but that improved when my shave time shortened and I learned to use more water. The only thing I really didn't like about it was that it smelled like sun tan lotion.

    Jermyn street is a minimum must in my den and will the last I ever give up I think.
    But I do like all the TOBS scents
    You can't go wrong with them
    I got a sample pack from Magards I think it was a while back to try them all

    Yes, I do like the Jermyn Street shave cream and also the puck version as well. Nice fairly strong masculine cologne scent and makes a very decent lather. Good stuff in my book.

    I do like TOBS too.
    I prefer the creams over their hard soaps, but YMMV. The soaps tend to dry out quick.
    I thin ktheir creams are top notch.

    I like most of their scents, bur definately prefer Rose, Lavender, Sandelwood, Jermyn Street, Eton college, and St. James.
    Not to keen on the sweet scents (apart from the rose :-)) .
    I never triede coconut or Avocado. It just never appealed to me.

    getting a sample pack is a great way to discover what you like without stocking up for a lifetime of creams you might not like.

    I like TOBS Sandalwood. A very pleasant scent.

    The Grapefruit is not one of my favs.

    My favorites from them are still Mr Taylor and Eaton College. Love em both!

    Jermyn Street is very good as well, as has been mentioned.

    Shave Shop is my favorite. That scent is by far one of my favorites even outside the TOBS lineup. The only thing I don like about it is that it doesn't come in and larger quantity.
