Thanks PigCat.Pig Cat said:These scents are rather 'old-school' so perhaps too different to the ones you favour. I was PIF'd a few sample aftershaves a while back and wasn't too crazy about them, though was possibly swayed by Mrs PC who really didn't like any of them. I'm hoping someone here will send you some samples, but if you like 'citrusy and modern scents' I don't think any of them would be for you. Please, can someone with a better nose than I correct me if I'm wrong, but I would place these TOBS scents firmly in the traditional category.
Very good! Your wit is razor sharp!Pig Cat said:NtStig, if you like the fresher scents and want to try Taylors why not plump for the Lemon & Lime. I haven't tried it but I would assume it has a nice strong scent if their Rose is anything to go by. Otherwise Nannys is an obvious choice. Quite a few of hers are a bit citrusy and zingy. Not that many here seem to use Edwin Jagger creams but I like the Aloe Vera so they may be worth a try. I do like the Bluebeards - because our hobby is sometimes called 'traditional shaving' there isn't anything much very modern out there, but this brand is definitely going against the grain.*
* C'mon really, that's not bad is it? Shaving Shack - please contact me by PM for my postal address to send huge rewards for giving you the idea to use this as part of your marketing.
Yes, I was just reading your post about it, strangely enough. I will probably get some of this for Christmas.shrink said:the jermyn street sensitive cream has a subtle but masculine and clean smell to it. Quite sharp and refreshing. very very hard to explain because it doesnt really smell of anything as such. I just know I like it a lot.

Where is the best place to get it from, do you know?
I may also get some L'Occitane soap as Debenhams is selling this at the mo, or some GFT from the local independent department store. Much nicer to go in the shop and get it if possible
It's very helpful, thanks. I would have been quite annoyed i think if i'd ordered the lemon and lime, so That's saved me money and disappointment - thanks. I check the southend and Colchester branches of tk maxx occasionally; will have to do so more often as there's no guarantee you'll find the same thing twice (i guess that adds to the fun and the excitement when the hunting pays off)simmo3801 said:Hi there
Prob not a lot of help but i had Mr Taylors cream for a while. it was a very nice but as you've already been told traditional smell to it. By that I could really only describe it as slightly sweet and almost like the smell of vanilla ice ceam?!! Very pleasant. As for the Lemon / lime I found it a very synthetic type of smell which was bugger all like lemon or you've guessed it, lime. Whilst lime seems a popular scent for shaving creams and soaps it would appear that many manufacturers can't replicate it. Having said that Nanny of Silly Soap fame sent out a sample which was fantastically limey so might be worth a try?
