TOBS Mr Taylor's Shaving Cream

[Steve Bowles]

I'm not including a lathering photo because almost anyone is a better latherer than I am; but I will unequivocally state that this is one of the best shaving creams I have ever used.

The scent immediately evokes a deep-buried memory of old-time barber shops where you got your first hair-cut. All you need is a barber's pole outside your bathroom, and a copy of Playboy magazine inside the bathroom to complete the mirage.

I know most members are dialled-in to soaps, but give this cream a go for a great shave.

My wife bought me a tub of this cream on her last trip to London and it is a very nice cream to use with a nice scent

I will give it a try.

I have the TOBS coconut and I like how it performs but the scent is a bit artificial for my liking.

I'm planning to visit TOBS store in London next week or the following week.

I add 3 drops of glycerin to the bowl when lathering and it works well for me.

Best scented TOBS IMO are in this order:
Mr. Taylors
Eton College
St. James
Jermyn Street
Sandalwood

Yeah, the TOBS coconut is really more of a 'TOBS Suntan lotion'. Great performer but does leave my skin a bit oily afterwards.

TOBS shaving creams are the mainstay of my shaving den. I always keep a tub of Rose and a tub of Lavender on hand. I haven't tried all the TOBS shaving creams by any means, but those that I have are excellent in terms of price, quality and performance. I love poking around their Jermyn St. shop when I'm in London.

Trumpers Coconut is by far better than TOBS conditioning wise.

The scent of Mr Taylor's blew me away when I first got it, amazing.

The aftershave is even better not sure if they still sell it.

I have seen the cologne, unsure about the AS as well. I do have the Sandalwood cologne which is also very good, long lasting as well IMO.

I think they changed from an aftershave to a cologne line. As an aftershave Mr. Taylors lasts around 30 mins on me. Which is good for an aftershave but it's the traditional scent that is fantastic.

In the case of TOBS Luxury shaving cream I rather view it more a case of Escort (Readers wives). It is okay, but far from the best of the creams I've come across to date and really does has me shying away from TOBS products.

I prefer GT far more as a kinder product for my skin type.

 

[Steve Bowles]

Is there a preferred GT? I've never tried any of the products.

 

[Bogeyman]

I have a tub and it's great stuff for sure. Pleasant scent.

I've only got the one and that is their GFT which I hated at first but now can't praise it high enough

Just ordered a tub from Amazon. You're totally responsible for the outcome!
