Once again
I voted A, but that would suggest it is tied for my top spot, T&H. I like TOBS, just not quite as much as T&H. Although on a cost adjusted basis, it might be preferable :shrug: . On the other hand, if cost were the main issue, I'd not be buying 'top shelf' shaving cream. Sometimes I like the more subdued scent of the Taylor's. The lather seems slightly less dense than the T&H, but still very nice.
St. James & Eton College are my faves
I own their entire product line. My favorite by far is Mr Taylors. The only scent I don't care for is the Eton College line. Reminds me of Brut.
Of the creams, I go for Taylors for the best value. I have not tried their soap, as I have been most satisfied with others.

I had a cake of their Lavender soap and wasn't too crazy about it. Their creams are very nice, however, and for the price can't be beat IMO. I like Mr. Taylors and Eton College. Shaving Shop was a little too "old fart" for my taste. That's odd though, because I normally gravitate toward old school style fragrances. Just a trace of something in it that didn't agree with me. Bought a bottle of the A/S, and have only used it once. .......Jeff
I liked the samples they sent me. Mr. Taylor's, Eton, and Sandalwood. I really liked the Mr. T and Eton. I loved the scents of these two and they lathered up really nicely. I didn't care too much for the scent of the sandalwood. Of all the sandalwood creams, I like GFTs the most.

I have them an A. The cream is thick and lovely - I haven't used the soaps. And I admit a certain degree of sentimental attraction because they were the first ones I bought, but I do enjoy it.
I have tried the Sandalwood and Mr. Taylor's scents, and find both pleasant, though short-lived. I'm waiting for the rose and lavender to arrive, though I have hearsay knowlege that they, too, are very nice.
So, luxurious, with the only knock being that the scent, which is yummy, doesn't have staying power.

Never tried it.
The Lavender is the only one I have tried and I love it. This cream that I bought smells so good that I bought some Lavender conditioner that I add to reduce drag (if needed), face cream, and some toner stuff, just to keep the scent going. I find the lavender really relaxing and like to shave with it at night to help me relax. Also I have read that GFT Sandlewood is the best. I hope that this is true because I have some of their cream on the way, and I can't wait to put it into rotation.
Try the Avocado cream. It's soooooo good. Don't be put off by the idea of smearing guacamole on your face. It's not like that. This is one of my very favorites.
The herbal pre-shave has a magical scent to it and a texture that is amazing but very pricey; maybe too pricey for what you get.
I just had to say again how much I love the lavender. It give such great foam and I love the smell...just shaved with it before I go to sleep...i'm sure i'll sleep like a baby tonight!
I just recieved word that Taylor of Bond Street is no longer giving samples due to the overwhelming demand. They explained that their product is hand made and could not keep up if they tried. So I am a have not tried in the polls.
