Taylor of Old Bond Street Jermyn Collection Shaving Cream for Sensitive Skin Screw Tread Pot 150gr

Super amazing

I am new to safety razor shaving. My interest in it started at the drug store, when a really nice looking $15 wooden shaving brush caught my eye. I purchased Proraso shaving soap for sensitive skin. I liked the scent of the Proraso, but I found no matter how I mixed it, I ended up with very thin shave cream. I found that adding water made the cream too foamy and runny, and with less water, the coating on my face was thin and transparent. I watched several Youtube videos on lathering to "brush up" on my technique, and then finally I thought I'd try another shave cream before investing in a $50 shave brush. After pouring over reviews, I ordered Taylor of Old Bond Street Jermyn Street Shaving Cream Bowl for Sensitive Skin, not even realizing at that point the difference between a shaving soap and shaving cream. Taylor of Old Bond Street seems to be a gold standard of both. The price was very reasonable. Out of the box, I was very impressed with the construction of the plastic housing. It is a heavy plastic and substantial, one that can certainly be reused with soap refills and for travel. Uncapped, the shave cream is soft. It isn't a hard bar of soap, but rather a cream, with a stiff toothpaste-like consistency. I immediately noticed a difference with lathering - shaving creams are much easier to prepare than shaving soaps. The resultant product mixed was creamy and lathery. I am somewhat of a scent-phobe. I am very sensitive to smell, and I resent it when people pour on cologne or perfume, and leave the elevator smelling like a department store. I much prefer an odourless product. For instance, the aftershave I use is a simple white unscentend lotion by Lubriderm. As such, it was a bit of a gamble ordering this product online without being able to smell it first. The product smell is not overpowering, and has a sweet, almost spicy almond-like fragrance. I liked it so much, I looked up the description on the Taylor of Old Bond Street description: "A modern fresh fougere fragrance with bergamot, lemon, lime and lavender supported by a heart of geranium, neroli and amber resting on a substantive base of musk, patchouli and vanilla. An allergen free fragrance which contains Patchouli oil." I'm addicted. The lather provides reasonable glide. I'm still nicking myself, but with practice I'm getting better. I apply it to shave down, and then re-apply to shave up with my safety razor. Then, a styptic pencil cleans up the red spots. I don't rate 5 stars lightly - this was money very well spent. I have a new favourite! Probably the best advice I could give anyone reading this review is that especially if you are just learning about lathering or trying to find a new favourite, don't throw out or give away any of your shaving creams - hang onto them. There is an element of technique involved that refines over time, and each soap has a bit of a learning curve. Just because you don't get a good lather now, doesn't mean you won't get one later. Also, even when you find "the one", you might get tired of the scent after months of shaving with it and need a break. So it's nice to have options around.

A VERY TINY AMOUNT OF CREAM WILL BUILD UP INTO FULL LATHER AND GIVE AN EXCELLENT SHAVE. SO IT IS COST EFFECTIVE. THE FRAGRANCE IS JUST THE RIGHT POTENCY AND FLAVOUR. I RECEIVED 150 GRAMS OF SHAVING CREAM AS SPECIFIED ON THE PRODUCT LABEL.
