If you like almond scent and want to treat yourself get a 250gr block of Panama Boellis 1924. It molds easily into a bowl and has the nicest almond scent I have found. Just a super nice shave soap.

Where does one find this Bob? Canadian stores?

Eton College is awesome - get it from The Classic Edge here in Ontario...

The Panama Boellis you can get from Men's Essentials in Toronto, online as well.

I love Eton College. I prefer the Proraso Sandalwood to TOBS. If you want to try them out search for a TOBS sampler. You should be able to find one easy enough, 12 or so different scents, a few shaves worth of each for reasonable money...nothing like an informed buyer!

I've heard really good stuff about the Boellis before, but never actually tried that one myself, I have pondered it now and then though. I really like Almond. I picked up a TOBS Peppermint sometime back and my jury is still out on the scent. A really nice cream, just not quite sure that scent is my preference, but that's just me, I would really recommend it to those who are in to the Peppermint though.

I have tried the Lemon and Lime, Peppermint, and Grapefruit. I really like the Lemon and Lime the best, but the Grapefruit is very good too. TOBS is an absolute great value.

In my opinion, it's not easy to find a TOBS product that isn't impressive. When you consider the amount of products they make and the variety
they offer, TOBS might be the most consistent company out there.

thank you all for your responses. I think my first buy will be the peppermint. i was eyeing it from the moment i saw it and with so many good words about their product as a whole, I feel like I cant go wrong.

to anyone who might be interested, I looked up TOBS sample pack and first thing i found was this

Taylor of Old Bond Street Samples | Maggard Razors - Straight Razor Restoration, Custom Scales and Wet Shaving Products

The link leads you to where you can order all 14 scents in one pack. They are out of stock currently. . . butIi put myself on the waitlist. we'll see if i can get my hands on a set.
