I doubt you will be disappointed, they really are a great performer and as mentioned before TOBS creams are a very economically priced product.

TOOBS creams, are made by Creightons, as are most, if not all the British shaving creams anymore. It's a good cream, the scents by some, called a bit synthetic, but for the $ they are a very good buy in my opinion.

I don't much care for the cologne type scents, I'm more of a simple citrus or flower scent kind of guy so I gravitate towards those. You can chose any scent you think you prefer, they will all pretty much behave the same. I have some 10+ year old creams that have dried out so much that they are more like soaps, and they still perform fine and the scent is fine too.

Now as for their shaving soaps, I would look elsewhere, I do not care for those at all.

I really like TOBS. Pluses: it seems to lather easier for me, than a few soaps I've tried. Several very pleasant scents, and not too strong to interfere with aftershave lotion.

Minuses: some scents seem to require more water than others, so you have to experiment a bit. More expensive than soaps.

Overall, a great cream, IMHO.

TOBS is a Gold Standard of shave creams. Never met a tub I didn't like.

I also like TOBS with the exception of Avacado and Peppermint.

so incredibly mad right now. as i said i placed an order for a tub of taylors peppermint. . . . according to the tracking it was "delivered at or in the mailbox" on the 24th at 4:41pm. . . . i dont see it anywhere. been looking since that night

Do you live in an apartment or condo building?

I have my packages sent to a house. Where I (usually) can be certain that someone will be there. . . . But. . . . UPDATE. . . I FOUND THE MISSING PACKAGE!!! It box was to big for the slot of the locking mailbox so he put it in the newspaper box. Which is in a weird location so Noone saw it. it is now in my posession. I've never been so happy.

I'm glad you found it. I used my last portion of Peppermint today.

TOBS Lemon and Lime was the first cream I'd ever shaved with. Pleasing scent and great performance. Let us know how your shave goes.
