Thread: Just received my first tub of TOBS

TBH, I've only tried the AS Gel, which I'd say is for extreme circumstances, lot's of irritation, etc...If you have the means, try them all. Use the gel for those bad days, and use the other's after a good shave....

I have 5 TOBS creams, Sandlewood, Coconut, Rose, Lemon'n'Lime and Jermyn st.
So far the Sandlewood is my fave, reminds me of an old time barbershop close by
in my neighbourhood.

The Rose is beautiful for a change, Coconut is a VERY lovely fragrance, Lemon'n'Lime is
good in the summer months and Jermyn st. is a bit too understated for me although
I like it for a change.

I do want to try the Shaving Shop Shaving Cream next, just to see if it will knock
the Sandlewood off the perch as my favourite indulgence.

From the start I have had no probs getting a lather and what is left over goes some way
to getting rid of my B.O. (under arm pre-shower treatment) waste not, want not !!

Oh dear, I've said too much

Just got my 12 scent sampler and I gotta say, St James is still my favourite by far!
I also must add that for how much you get, it's slightly a waste of money lol $40 for 12 tiny containers...and grapefruit wasn't even in there! Oh well, I guess that's the price of getting 12 scents at once.

Looks like I'm way behind. I love TOBS, but have only used the Lavender. So many TOBS to choose from... so little room that my wife will allow my shaving stuff to take up in the bathroom.

I just placed an order for two tubs of the TOBS, one Lemon/Lime and one of the Grapefruit(two of my favorite scents) "if" it comes as its says its supposed to on Saturday(not holding my breath as this area is horrible for mail) then Im going to actually shave over the weekend just to give them a whirl.
Respectfully,
Christian

I have several of TOBS creams and they are all great. The grapefruit, I kid you not, smells like a fresh, ripe grapefruit, just cut open. I'm not joking when I say it made my mouth water when I smelled it (it smells that realistic)....I refrained from taking a bite because I'm sure SWMBO would find it odd if I were to eat shaving cream(as should she)!

I was just in London and picked up a tub of the sandalwood. I had a very difficult time not spending a fortune in the TOBS store! It was an amazing place!

I had been considering starting a thread about the TOBS Grapefruit so that my love for this cream would be forever documented. I have a lot of soaps and creams that I really like, but this one is FAR and AWAY my favorite. Great grapefruit scent...not sweet or artificial smelling in any way. I use a grapefruit aftershave gel as well (not TOBS). The scent of both lasts ALL DAY. Its amazing!

Grapefruit was my first tub of TOBS. I was amazed with it, both in terms of performance and scent. It's going to be replaced when it runs out, that's for sure. The next one I'm aiming to buy is the barbershop scent one.

Just tried TOBS grapefruit this morning, using a sample from Maggard Razors. Amazing scent, and great lather. The first time I heard about it, I thought, "grapefruit shaving cream?" Sounds weird, but smells great.
