Thread: Sample Taylor of Old Bond street

I recieved two samples from Taylor of Old Bond Street. Two small creams sandlewood and lavander. Can't wait to try them.

The almond ROCKS! You've never tried Taylors?

I have their sandlewood soap which is the best. I just hadn't tried the cream. I used the lavender this AM. Wow followed by Truefitt & Hill Aftershave Balm another Wow. I can't stop touching my face.

Tried the Avocado out of curiosity. Excellent!

I like the Lavender too. My favorite is the Eton College. I know a lot of people complain that the Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving creams dry out quickly, but I have found that a little extra water in the brush works well.

Actually I don't know what they mean. It has never dried out while I was using it.

I read the description for Eton College on classicshaving.com, but it's a bit hard to get a feel for what that really smells like. Any comparisons you can make to some more familiar fragrance?

The closest I can think of is Truefitt & Hill Trafalgar cologne. But it has it's own distinct scent. Clean, bright and traditional. A good scent to wear for the business day. I'd like to get the whole collection: shaving cream, aftershave, cologne.
