Taylor of Old Bond Street Peppermint Shave Cream (5.3 oz)

This rocks. You use a brush, but dont need to lather it up much, just a dab of hot water on the brush and a little swirl. Smooth, creamy, not chemical smelling, or slimy. No aerosol explosive gas, either, right?! Good product. Minty.

This product is excellent. The peppermint fragrance is energizing and soothing at the same time.

Great product. Smooth skin and makes your skin shine. Smells great on skin, tingles. Creamy and a little goes a looong way. Large volume so it will last a long time before running out. This is literally the best shave cream I’ve EVER used in the 40 years I’ve been shaving. Couldn’t be happier with with product. Finally..,,,,

I very rarely write reviews for items I purchase on Amazon however I am so satisfied with This saving cream that I had too write a review. This shaving cream lathers vey quickly and with very little cream. The peppermint cream allows for a smooth shave and leaves the face feeling refreshed. I would highly recommend this product and I know I will purchase again myself!

I have used this for about 2 years now, and its hands down the best I have tried. The scent is both rich and not overpowering (though the peppermint may make your eyes water if you use too much, learned that quick!), with a very smooth feel before and after the shave. If recommend its use for safety razor and modern razor usage. A soft badger hair brush is recommended, as it didnt seem to lather as easily with my boar bristle brush. Overall its my favorite, and a great treat to start your day off right.

Exactly why I ordered this shaving cream. The peppermint smell is absolutely amazing. I have been using The Art of Shaving shaving cream for several years and thought I would give Taylor of Old Bond Street a try. I had read a previous comment that stated the peppermint shaving cream was a bit more heavy. That comment is spot on. It takes a bit more water to get a good foaming going. As for a comparison between AOS and TOBS. The ingredients are almost identical. I do believe that the AOS is smoother and goes on my face with a brush better than the TOBS. However, I take into account the comment from a previous person mentioned above. With that said, it really boils down to cost. And I have to say I am tired of paying AOS prices. And again, the peppermint scent is a big, big win! I would very much like to try other scents by TOBS but I don’t think it could get any better than the peppermint. So, I am officially changing from AOS to TOBS.

Simply the best! The scent is more towards peppermint candy than peppermint leaf. There is a tingle when applied. Nice clean scent but not overbearing. Light enough to pair with most aftershaves. Small amount lathers excellent with enough slick. Highly recommend.

If you like the cool tingling from menthol/mint shave cream, this is the one for you. The first time using this shaving cream was new and surprising! Intense!

This review is for the peppermint. The cream has a nice smell, and feels great on the skin. I use this cream by scooping a small amount with one or two fingers into a bowl and then work it into a lather with a brush. I then allow the cream to sit on my skin for 2 minutes to soften the hair and skin and it results in a perfect shave. This stuff leaves my skin feeling nice and the peppermint adds a nice cooling sensation during and afterwards.

Ive used a few other shaving creams in the last few months and several more a few years ago. Lately, Ive been needing to shave both my beard *and* scalp to deal with a ringworm infection Ive had for most of my life (using over-the-counter creams also available here on amazon). In a side-by-side comparison with this and other Taylor of Old Bond Street (almond and sandalwood years ago), Edge (aloe variety, green can which everyone seems to suggest as the best), and Proraso (standard and another green variety, also years ago), none of them have been as satisfying to use as this stuff. I do wish to warn folks that this is very likely *not* best used in the wintertime as others may be quick to note. The temperatures outside my house are relatively warm as of my writing this review, so it works great right now, but numbing in winter might make one colder and uncomfortable. That cooling sensation is pretty extreme with this stuff. I personally find that numbing feeling to really make for a satisfying shave and Ive never felt anything like this in all my years of shaving. To me, its awesome! ...but truthfully, this might be a matter of preference. The only competitor I havent tried yet is the caffeine shaving cream from Pacific Shaving Company, but I doubt itll quite beat this stuff - its really special! Ill update this review if I happen to like that one better, but otherwise, you can assume this remains to be the best for me.
