Taylor of Old Bond Street Jermyn Street Luxury Shaving Cream for Sensitive Skin, 5.3-Ounce 01014

Great product !

I found the Sandalwood “edition” of this soap too powerfully scented and, frankly, rough on my face. Whereas this edition is ideal. Not overly scented (I’m sensitive to fragrances) and not harsh on my face. Frankly, I love shaving with this stuff! It has transformed shaving from the dullest activity on earth into something fun. Sounds corny, I know. Yet true.

My husband has tried other natural shaving soaps or creams but they all irritated his skin. So I thought wed try this one but wasnt sure if it would work. Have been very pleased with it so far. My husband has used multiple times and has had no razor burn or irritation at all. Has a nice subtle scent as well that I enjoy. Very happy with my purchase.

Upside: very pleasant woodsy, green fragrance (reminiscent of mosquito repellent but in a good way). Very good lather as long as you pay attention to water to creme ratio. Downsides: Fragrance may be irritating to those who are sensitive to fragrances. Lacking in lubrication (not as slick as some of the AoS cremes). I really wanted to like this shaving cream given my penchant for English-made products. However if I kept the lather on my face more than a minute, my face and neck would get irritated and there would be a burning sensation that lasted for up to 15 minutes after usage. Previously I was using the AoS unscented cream and had very little if no razor burn or ingrown hairs unless I really buggered up my shaving technique. However I had an increase of skin irritation, razor burn, and ingrown hairs no matter how careful my technique was or how slowly I shaved. In fact, the irritation got worse especially over the areas affected by Rosceia (sp?). Since starting with this product, I had to double down on the usage of my metrogel. I suspect the combination of fragrance and higher pH of the product may be the cause. Not really recommended for men with skin that is easily irritated by skincare products.

Nice lather once you get it going. Does not irritate skin as other shaving creams that I have tried.

This is by far the best shaving cream Ive used. I have nothing but great things to say about this stuff! Its very concentrated and should last me about 7-8 months shaving every other day! A little bit goes a long way and somehow smells great but doesnt irritate my skin or dry it out! You get what you pay for and this stuff is a little on pricey side but I feel it was well worth it. I absolutely will be buying again when I run out.

This is the second time I purchased this. First time the smell was awesome. Second time, the smell was unpleasant. Anythig like the first time. I dont know if the formula was changed. I dont think Ill purchase it again.

Greasy.

Just as everyone describes. All i need is a very little bit, like 1/8 of a tbs and there is leftovers that still get rinseed down the drain. Amazing product. I am now sticking to TOBS brand. UPDATE: So far this stuff has lasted me 4 months. The bottle is about 3/4 gone. Maybe a little more is still there. I could see this going to 6 months. And i use this about 3 times a week. UPDATE 2: This bottle has lasted a year.

the scent is not too strong so really like it, though i might want to try the sandalwood one too. this is my first time using shaving cream instead of the gel from cans, and so far i like it. very smooth and makes the razor (both double edge and disposable) flow nicely.
