Taylor of Old Bond Street | Sandalwood Shaving Cream

Taylor of Old Bond Street is my favorite shaving cream brand and Sandalwood is one of my favorite scents. It makes a very dense lather that allows me to get a smooth and comfortable shave.

TOBS Sandalwood has a rich fragrant lather befitting of the aristocracy. When your shave is done you'll be so relaxed your colonial holdings will slip right through your fingers. I've been buying this for more than a decade, almost to the exclusion of everything else. It deserves it's place in the rotation.

good stuff

This cream has a strong but not overpowering scent. It lathers easily and quickly into a thick creamy consistency. Although not the slickest soap I've used, it does provide above average slickness and is more than sufficient for providing a smooth irritation free shave.

Beautiful classic scented cream! Also provides a nice slick lather

Great shaving cream, but the smell is overwhelming and tends to linger with you all day long. You will either love the smell or it will drive you to another product after a few uses.

This is the first real shaving cream I've used. I was using the canned shaving cream that I've used my whole life even with my DE safety razor. What a difference using a quality shaving cream and shaving brush makes! This shaving cream makes my razor glide across my face like a hot knife through butter. This is the first time I've ever been able to do multiple passes without irritation, and I give credit to using a quality shaving cream. My only complaint is that it turns out I don't like the way Sandalwood smells. I will give this 5 stars anyways because everything else is great, and smell is subjective. To me Sandalwood smells like something an old man would wear. If you have never smelled Sandalwood I would recommend trying to smell it before you buy this to see if you like it or not.

This shaving cream is world class. Amazing lather. Alittle goes along way. The smell is addicting and just right. It works wonderfully with a straight razor. This is my go to stuff. Makes me look forward to shaving. Will not disappoint. 5/5

New shaver and I like it. Scent is nice but not strong. Lather is good
Compared to others I’ve tried. Shave is very good. Has good balance of lather and slipperiness to me.

I have used soap pucks in the past and using a shaving cream has been a game changer. I love the convenience of it (especially with travel). The smell reminds me of an old barber shop and has a manly musk to it. My wife loves it, so there is no complaint there. I am still learning to portion the right amount for the number of passes I plan to do, but I am sure that will get better with time. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good sandalwood scent that is strong and sticks for a little while.
