Taylor of Old Bond Street Peppermint Shaving Cream, 150g

This is a good shaving cream with a good peppermint scent and a pleasant menthol kick. This soap produces a good lather but I have found inconsistencies in the lather quality in some of the TOBS shaving creams.

Scent: Strong smell of mint resembling candy canes or mints given at a restaurant, wouldn't you want to splash your face with that smell? Feel: Properly lathered has a great consistency, smooth and slick glides along your face allowing your razor to cut fairly close. Protection: I found it to have fairly light protection compared to other creams I have tried before however this will allow for closer shaves. Somehow a simple pass of your razor scrubs almost the entire thing off your face causing the razor to drag along your face skipping almost like pecking on your face, always reapply immediately. Latherability: Lathers fast, its soft consistency helps you use up all the cream in the bowl without any sticking to the sides. Uses drops of water at a time but don't worry about too much water as it will still work with some extra water mixed in. Opinion: Not my top pick for shaving cream, still enjoy Cremo and the all natural Kiss My Face on rotation

As someone who loves peppermint, this is spot on. The peppermint smelled so good that I debated eating a little. No joke, but I talked myself out of it. Lathered well just like all TOBS and the smell was so refreshing. Finished my shave with Floid blue and was very satisfied. If you like candy canes and enjoy brushing your teeth, you will love this cream. The scent was not what I was expecting, but what I was hoping for.

This cream is amazing! Compared to most of the other TOBS creams, the performance is noticeably better. With minimal effort, I got thick, creamy lather from just a pea sized amount of cream. What I love about this cream, however, is the way that it feels on your face, while shaving. It gives a wonderful cooling sensation not unlike that of menthol. This makes it a great alternative for people that like the face freezing effects of menthol, but don't like the smell or have skin reaction problems.Lastly, the fragrance is fleeting, which I find to be a positive quality. It does not leave you smelling like peppermints all day, so you can follow up with whatever aftershave or cologne that you want.
