Taylor of Old Bond Almond Shaving Cream Bowl 150g

Just coming to the end of the first pot of this and at 57 years old, this is the best shaving cream I’ve ever used. The lather is so thick and creamy and not a single nick in 7 months. My wife loves the Sandalwood smell, so I also love it!! Going to buy some more soon.

I've been a repeat buyer of Taylor of Old Bond Street's Peppermint Shaving Cream, and it consistently delivers a 5-star shaving experience. The invigorating peppermint scent provides a refreshing kick to my morning routine, leaving me feeling revitalized. The cream lathers up beautifully, providing a smooth and comfortable shave every time.As a repeat customer, I appreciate the consistent high quality of this product. The luxurious texture ensures a close shave without irritation, making it a must-have for anyone who values a top-notch grooming routine. The packaging is elegant, and the cream itself lasts a long time, making it a cost-effective choice.What sets Taylor of Old Bond Street apart is the variety of scents available, and I'm already eyeing other options to try. The brand's commitment to quality and the overall shaving experience makes it my go-to choice, and I highly recommend the Peppermint Shaving Cream to anyone seeking a superior shaving product.

Over the years I've lazily drifted towards aerosol and or gel based shaving creams but I just couldn't find one that suited my beard. They also have a tendency to clog up and solidify in the space between the blades, (even after rinsing after each shave) making for more blade changes than necessary. A few months ago, I dug out my old shaving brush and bought a dish of shaving soap from my local chemist and again was disappointed, as it took a lot of work to build up a lather (slightly hard water here). Persevering, I found this shaving cream here on Amazon, and as I find the smell of lavender really relaxing, I hit the one click button, and it arrived within 72 hours of ordering, which was excellent service. I see that a fellow reviewer didn't like the packaging, which is a very thick cream plastic, with lavender lettering. I find it functional, not at all cheap looking, and for me it looks nice on the bathroom window. Opening the screw top, you'll find that, unlike many other creams, it has a clear plastic slip over inner cap that is designed to keep the cream moist, and it works perfectly. The lavender coloured cream itself is generously filled into the bowl and is the best shaving cream I have ever bought for building a lather. I honestly need only to touch my shaving brush gently onto the surface of the bowl to get a really luxurious lather. The lavender scent is classy, understated, and relaxing. I use such a small amount of cream at each shave that it looks like this bowl will last me months and months. Having tried this brandI doubt now that I will ever buy another brand of shaving cream, or go back to aerosols and soaps. I may try Taylors Sandalwood, as that is another fragrance I like a lot, but the luxury afforded by this brand is all I'm ever going to need, plus, being a light cream, it rinses out of my razor perfectly with minimum effort. If you are looking for a classy shaving cream with a very understated and relaxing fragrance, please buy this with confidence, it really is that good. It would make the perfect present. I hope this helped you with your buying decision.

I have used Taylors creams in the past, and in particular the lavender shaving cream. If you like the lavender you will like the rose, and vice versa - they have very similar characteristics apart from (obviously) the particular flower scent. Others have complained about the packaging. I didn't really have a problem. The top could have been on tighter and the internal plastic lid had lifted a little, but this is quite a firm solid cream (like a hair wax) so leaking isn't a particular danger. The material of the pot and appearance are perhaps on the cheaper end of the spectrum, but then again so is this cream (I paid just less than £10). I wasn't impressed but I was happy enough. The scent is really distinctive. When I showed my wife she immediately said "Yum - Turkish delight" and that's pretty spot on. It's a very powerful sweet rose scent and it smells delicious. I was concerned that it would last a long time and make me smell "girly", but it dissipates quickly after shaving and I wasn't worried about it clashing with my choice of aftershave. Essentially it's a great smell whilst you're shaving but won't stay with you in a big way and I'm fine with that in a soap. In terms of lather, I was a little disappointed. I've had similar TOBS creams before and remembered them giving me a good lather, but I find this a bit drying and not as smooth as I had expected. It could be a slightly different recipe, or it might be simply that it's 6 months since I last used a TOBS cream and I've got used to other (better?) creams since. It lathers easily and the lather looks good, but it just doesn't provide the same lubrication that I'm getting from the (more expensive) Dr Harris cream that I'm also currently using. Consequently, my shave is neither as close not as comfortable. I should add that I have skin that is very sensitive to soap and dries very quickly when exposed to it. That is the reason I use creams and not soaps. The drying non-lubricating sensation is *exactly* what I experience when using a soap - especially as other reviewers here are reporting much better performance. I will continue to use it because I love the scent so much - but probably occasionally rather than day to day. I was a little disappointed, but I think that's probably down to my particular skin rather than a lack of quality in the cream. The scent is really nice and the price is very good. So I'm giving it 4 stars for its general quality - I'd recommend it to others but not to myself!

Very nice clean shave achieved smells good

Unfortunately it was shipped in an envelope with no interior protection, the container was broken in pieces. Seller was quick to refund as they didn't have any in stock to replace it. I was able to salvage half of the shaving cream, it's excellent, very smooth and the Peppermint not overpowering. Worth the price !

Bajo mi punto de vista, tiene un aroma perfecto para el verano. Al principio, nada más abrir el tarro, se aprecia cierta acidez, algo químico que no acaba de encajar del todo, aunque a medida que se va usando esa sensación desaparece y deja un aroma muy limpio y sobre todo cítrico y fresco. Sin duda es perfecto para los meses de verano

È il primo sapone Della Taylor che decido di acquistare provenendo da altre Marche più o meno prestigiose:dalla cella, al Leonardo da vinci della razorock, senza contare i gel da rasatura. Posso dire di avere una discreta collezione che mi permette di fare dei confronti pratici che spero possano tradursi in qualcosa di immediatamente comprensibile per tutti i lettori. PROFUMO aprendo la ciotola non aspettatevi di essere inebriati dal profumo di cocco. Spesso, quando davvero intenso, è un profumo chimico. Questo invece ha lo stesso odore della vera noce di cocco, cioè quasi nulla lì per lì ma, appena lo si frizione sul viso o nella ciotola diventa molto più buono e gradevole. È UNA CREMA... con tutte le cose che ne conseguono: super consigliato il face leathering (montaggio in viso) facilitato proprio dalla consistenza semi morbida. Può essere tranquillamente montato anche in ciotola senza problemi ma un'accortezza: quando andiamo a prelevare il sapone dalla ciotola NON SPINGETE TROPPO, rischieresti di affondare troppo col pennello e raccogliere una enorme quantità di sapone che andrebbe buttata. PACKAGING in realtà la cosa che meno mi convince. Per trattarsi di una crema da barba da 15€ mi aspettavo qualcosa di più ma almeno può vantare una plastica molto rigida esternamente che protegge anche durante il trasporto. MONTAGGIO E PROTEZIONE la schiuma è densa e corposa. La crema al cocco risulta avere proprietà lenitive e protettive non indifferenti anche se, secondo il mio parere, tende stranamente ad essere un prodotto più invernale sotto l'aspetto protettivo ma nulla esclude di poterlo utilizzare agevolmente anche d estate (per questa stagione consiglierei più il peppermint della stessa casa che risulta molto fresco sulla pelle). Per il montaggio si consiglia quello direttamente sulla faccia ma, come dicevo, anche quello in ciotola va benissimo. FINALE come copertura, protezione, schiumosità e risultato lo paragonerei più ad un cella classico o al massimo ad un TFS che ad extrò COSMESI o ad un rasoi goddfellas. questo non necessariamente è un punto negativo, anzi: abbiamo un sapone che sa il fatto suo e che vi donerà ottime sbarbate avvolgenti (non freschissime) e che presenterà una schiuma densa e non slavata come le due Marche appena citate. Tutti sommato un buon prodotto a cui darei un 7.5 su 10 come voto e che mi sento di consigliare. Nonostante sia una crema mi ha convinto piacevolmente a differenza di creme da rasatura come. Quelle della proraso, che rimangono secche e non nutrono la cute a sufficienza agevolando la secchezza della cute stessa. Alla prossima recensione!!!

Creme fantástico! Desempenho superior a maioria dos cremes que já usei. A fragrância é sensacional! Recomendo muito a aquisição!

Härlig doft och blir ett helt underbart lödder som gör att rakhyveln glider. Rakar både huvud och ansikte och klart bästa produkten.
