Excellent product, 15 April 2011

Until quite recently I had always used a disposable twin bladed razor with "foam" or "shaving Gel'..A friend told me that nothing can compare to a "Real" shave so I went a little overboard by buying 2 DE (Double Edged) traditional razors and several packets of blades.I also bought this Taylors Sandalwood shaving cream with a badger hair brush.All I can say is I wish I had discovered shaving years ago..This cream is smooth as silk and compliments the expensive merkhur razor superbly.It turns a shave into an event that isnt to be rushed..Take your time and wind down..Its very theraputic.Excellent product. I am just about to order some more !!

Excellent shave cream - well worth the money, 9 Aug. 2011

I upgraded my gel for a cream over a year ago, and combined with a good brush, you cannot beat the lather. I have heard so many comments on Sandalwood so decided to give this a go.Just a small amount on the tips of a wet brush will produce a good lather that spreads easily for the razor to glide over, and it stays on the face long enough without it disappearing. The smell is very nice and clean, and after rinsing at the end, the scent stays for a while and it also tends to moisturise the skin.This jar will last ages if you take the time to lather properly. Paying that little bit extra is worth it for a shave that is razor burn free. Excellent product.

Taylor of Old Bond Street Shaving Cream (sandalwood) Review!, 10 Dec. 2013

I've used a few different shaving creams over the past two years and my favorite always use to be Proraso from the green tube, that was until i bought a tub of this two months ago. Before i talk about the actual cream i want to say a brief word regarding the tub. Firstly it is a screw top for added strength and weighing in at 150g means this is far more generous than other brands like Bluebeard's Revenge shaving cream which is only 100g and costs just as much.

I've tried three different fragrances so far including the lime, Almond and Sandalwood and have to say i prefer the sandalwood one the most with the fragrance being very masculine yet not overpowering. You can either rub your shaving brush into the tub very lightly or take a small almond size amount out with your finger and place it into a bowl to lather up. Only a small amount of warm water is required and i advise you allow your brush to soak in some warm water prior to shaving. Applying the cream direct to your...
