Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Shaving Cream Bowl 150g

I purchased this product after obtaining a Piccadilly Shaving Brush via the Amazon Vine Programme. I used to use a brush and traditional shaving soap and bowl for many years, but for the purpose of speed, particularly when shaving in the mornings and reduce weight when travelling, I changed over to using foam and for many years, shaving oil. I found that using a shaving bowl and soap, whilst the lather produced is very good, it does take time to produce the lather to the right consistency to ensure a good shave. After receiving negative comments regarding my review of the Piccadilly Brush (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00Z0IEIGY) I decide to look further afield and liking the scent of Sandalwood, came across this product. My preferred option to making foam now is to take a very small quantity (surprising small) onto the tip of the brush and using a shaving bowl with a small quantity of water in it, work the substance into a very smooth and soft foam. I only need to undertake 2 "passes" over my beard and find that I have more than sufficient lather for my shave, which combined with a good blade (I use Wilkinson 5 blade system), I obtain a really close shave. My preferred option at the end of the shave is to soak a clean flannel in hot water (as hot as you can stand) and cleanse the remaining soap with this; sealing my pores in the process. This ensures that the scent remains on your skin and gives you that nice feeling which you normally get after you have received a professional shave. I believe a pot should last a significant length of time and after using it a couple of times, believe that this is well worth its five star rating in terms of price, scent and of course its purpose in providing a close shave.

Great smelling and creamy shave cream, I really like this and I have used it for years Much cheaper in the long run and so much more economical than a spray foam

Smells lovely, lathers up pretty good. Does the job!

Excellent product. Pleasant scent, gives a really rich lather, and a 150 gm tub lasts me for about 2 months of daily shaving, so quite good value for the price. I have tried several other brands, but this one works for me

I purchased this shaving cream after I saw it recommended on almost every single article or YouTube channel that reviews such products, and I'm happy to say the hype is real. As someone who shaves almost daily, I found this product excellent primarily for the following reasons: 1. A little truly goes a long way. This particular tub lasted over 4 months, which also makes it excellent value for money. Using a lathering brush, I would only need to dip the tip of the brush onto the cream, and this would be enough to work up a very good lather, good enough for two shaves. 2. Excellent for sensitive skin. I'm quite prone to razor burn, particularly around the neck area, and while I used this product I almost never experienced it. On the few occasions I did, I realised it was because it was past time to swap my blade. 3. It has a truly fantastic scent, which just adds to an already pleasurable shaving experience. This seemed like a minor point to me when I read the reviews and recommendations, but found that I missed it quite a lot when I switched to another brand. Finally, and only because Amazon requested a star rating on this, I would argue that this tub is perhaps not ideal for travelling, but this will ultimately depend on the size of each person's toiletry kit. Mine is a compact sized kit and, while this tub does fit in it, I found that it occupies quite a bit of space, which meant not being able to add other items I would also normally pack. This does not in anyway detract from the 5 star rating however, but felt it should be mentioned.

Lathers well and wow does this smell good. Ive used many other types and whilst some do the job no other brand is able to do it all like this. Helps make the razor glide over the skin with no irritation and smells brilliant whilst doing it. After shaving now 2-3 times a week using this stuff for a few months i still have plenty of cream left and once out i will happily buy more.

As per other reviews, this is simply the best shaving cream I've ever used. Better than other alternatives like oil which I've bee using for a while. You only need a little bit so I think this will last for a long time. My wife and kids love the aroma and think my skin looks younger and smoother.

Better than squirty tinned foam, better than solid shaving soap, and much better than the greasy, oily stuff which comes in tubes! All the stuff I’ve previously used. It comes in a good sized pot with a secure screwed lid. I use a wetted brush and find it only needs a small touch with this to produce a good lather around the jaw. It seems to make shaving more efficient than with any of the alternatives mentioned above. The residue washes off easily afterwards too. I was uncertain about the sandalwood scent on first opening; it seemed a little on the strong side and I don’t like perfume smells. This seems to have diminished with time (or maybe I’ve got used to it). It’s a good product and I’m happy to use it. I will buy more when the time comes.

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!!!
