I have been a DE safety razor shaver for over 20 years now. I like to switch up my shaving creams and soaps every few days. I always have one or two Taylor of Old Bond Street varieties on hand. The Grapefruit is nice. I like the smell even though it is a bit artificial to my nose. The cream performs well. It is definitely not as creamy as the sandalwood version. I have to add a little more of the grapefruit cream to the shaving bowl to get the same amount of lather. Great shave!

Decent quality, but doesn’t have much smell. Don’t feel it’s worth the money.

So, for me, shaving is a manly experience to be enjoyed. I have tried a lot of “premium” brands, some of which were far more expensive. This particular brand can be whipped into a lather as thick or thin as you prefer, provides a very close shave, smells great, and it is easy to rinse off the left-overs. Very satisfying. I can use the $$ I save over the other brand to go buy me a fine cigar!

I was looking for some new shave cream and looked at the reviews here on Amazon. The Taylor of Old Bond Street Peppermint stood out. I have a nice shave brush but hadn’t used it in a while so I decided to give this a shot. Really pleased with the results. This shave cream foams with my brush beautifully and a little bit goes a long way. It is fun to lather up with this shave cream. It keeps my stubble soft and wet while I shave. No nicks. No issues. And it has a wonderful, clean, brisk feel when I am done shaving.
If you have never tried this brand before it is totally worthy of your attention. I think that you will love it. I will definitely be purchasing more.

Unfortunately it was shipped in an envelope with no interior protection, the container was broken in pieces. Seller was quick to refund as they didn’t have any in stock to replace it. I was able to salvage half of the shaving cream, it’s excellent, very smooth and the Peppermint not overpowering. Worth the price !

I decided to upgrade my morning routine and give myself something to look forward to when I’m feeling lazy and thinking about sleeping in. I also felt like it was time to stop using an electric razor since it was leaving me with a very amateur-looking shave (lots of stray hairs that I couldn’t get no matter how much I tried). I wanted to get the most out of the safety razor experience, so I did a lot of research into which products are needed and how to use them. I made all of the purchases together on Amazon and tried them out as a set. After using an electric for the past 10 years, I was pretty worried that I would get some serious razor burn, but to my surprise I had none whatsoever! I was pretty careful to not get too aggressive with the shaving, so I went WITH the grain and only made one or two passes on each area. The result was a shave that was 100X closer than an electric with no discomfort, nicks, cuts, or razor burn!
Here’s what I bought and why:
Safety Razor: Parker 96R – Long Handle Butterfly Safety Razor
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002IFFSOS/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_2
This safety razor has a great weight to it, a long handle for a comfortable grip, and a black and chrome coloring that looks great with the other items on the list. The butterfly razors seem to be the easiest to open and close for changing blades.
Razor Blades: Astra Superior Premium Platinum blades
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EXPTR0W/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_4
One of the great things about safety razors is that the blades are SUPER cheap. These Astra blades are some of the most popular and highest quality blades I could find. At $0.10 each, you can clearly see the cost advantage to regular razors. I have been told that one blade should last about a week. That means that 100 is nearly 2 years’ worth! Do yourself a favor and buy the best blades you can get. There’s no reason to save a few cents to get blades that dull quickly and give you razorburn.
Brush: Perfecto 100% Badger Shaving Brush – Black
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VF1NI5M/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_40
This brush is a fraction of the cost of the higher end brushes and it felt GREAT and worked up a nice, foamy lather very quickly. I don’t see any reason to buy a more expensive brush, especially if you are just starting out and want to see if you enjoy this process before you commit to a high-dollar brush. Personally, I still wouldn’t get anything more expensive.
Bowl: Schöne Stainless Steel Shaving Bowl with Lid
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OQDEL8Y/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_37
I think this is a matter of preference and taste in aesthetics. This bowl matches the other items that I bought and has a lid, which I am hoping will allow me to make my soap last longer. It seems to be well made and is a great size for working up a lather with the brush and is shaped well for holding it in your hand while you apply the lather. I think there are a lot of options for you to choose from, so pick something that matches your style if this one isn’t for you.
Razor and Brush Stand: SimplyBeautiful Deluxe Razor and Brush Stand
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AG92BXY/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_35
This stand looks great and is balanced well so that it holds my brush and razor without falling over. I chose black for two reasons. One: It matches the other things that I bought (razor and brush). Two: It should resist rusting better since it is coated.
Pre-shave Oil: The Art of Shaving Pre-Shave Oil, Sandalwood
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FGTTTM/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_3
The Art of Shaving makes some great products, but some of them have changes in recent years, so you can’t rely on the ratings alone. I read through them and found that the pre-shave oil is still a very popular product and from my experience, it definitely helps prep your beard and skin for the shave. Applying the oil is step 1 in safety razor shaving.
Shaving Soap: Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Shaving
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007MW2ZW/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_1
TOBS shaving soaps are the highest quality soaps I could find based off of smell, quality of lather, and consistency of the product quality. This soap is more like a cream. I scooped out some with my fingers, put it in the bowl, added some hot water, and then worked up a lather. It felt and smelled amazing! In reality, I didn’t want to wash it off because it just felt so good!
After-shave Balm: Truefitt & Hill Sandalwood Aftershave Balm
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004OWPW0I/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_29
This was my biggest splurge of the whole set-up and I did so for several reasons: First, using after-shave balm is said to be gentler on your skin than alcohol-based after-shaves. As I mentioned before, I switched from an electric to a safety razor with no skin irritation at all. This cream soothes the skin and makes it soft. It was the perfect way to finish my shave. Second, this stuff is rated as the absolutely best smelling after-shave balm out there and I can attest to that. It smells so great that I stopped using my cologne. Based on the small amount that is needed, this bottle should easily last for a year or more. Three, there are other “luxury” brand shaving balms that have been bought out by big brand companies and their formulas have changed significantly as a result. That means that some of the products out there have great ratings, but only because of the number ratings BEFORE they recently changed. If you look into other luxury shaving brands, then you will see what I mean.
Razor Disposal Case: Feather Styling Razor Disposal Case
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DWGEY1K/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_36
Even used razors are sharp, so I bought this little case to keep stray razors off of the counter, or better yet, off of the floor. Just drop in the used razor when it’s too dull for shaving. It holds over a hundred, so you can go without emptying it for a few years. It’s pretty cheap, so maybe you can just throw it away when it’s full? Your choice.
That’s my whole set up. If you want to get into safety razor shaving, then I highly recommend the products on this list. All-in-all, you will spend about the same on this list than you would on a TAOS starter kit that only has the oil, brush, soap, and balm. I’m a morning shaver, so the sandalwood scent works great for me, but evening shavers may consider the same products in lavender scent if you want a relaxing experience to help you sleep.

I purchased two shaving cream from this seller but ended up getting three.
When I placed an order second time I received the wrong scent (instead of The st.James collection I got mr.Taylors).
The seller kindly agreed to send me the right scent and keep the wrong one without extra pay.
The st. James collection scent is not overwhelmed it has the notes of bergamot and vanilla.
It suits me well and I enjoy the magnificent scent.
Excellent customer service. Highly recommend.

My hubby has been using this for some time now, it’s not his first container of it. He loves the scent and the shave. If you want a woodsy scent this is a good try for you

I’ve been paying $45.00 for another shave cream in the same size container for years. This product is not only cheaper but, preforms much better than the $45.00 shave cream. You don’t have to use much at all, it’s creamy yet gives a good rich lather that really does end up giving you a closer smoother shave than the more expensive product. The only reason I’m not awarding this shave cream five stars is because the ‘sandalwood’ scent is not what I expected. I was hoping for more of an actual sandalwood smell. Honestly, it doesn’t smell great but, I will defiantly be buying it again for the superior performance, it really is that good and the scent, even though disappointing, isn’t terrible.

Let there be no mistake that the quality of one’s shave is largely dependent upon the quality of one’s shaving apparatus. This is known. For a long spell, I believed that switching from cartridge razors to safety razors was a night and day difference which would lead me to the promised land, and by comparison, I was correct. And yet, this shaving cream has led me to one irrefutable conclusion; the quality of the shaving cream is just as crucial. I have not had such silky smooth skin since I was prepubescent. I am graced with the fragrance of noble kings of yore. I am purified, reborn with the vexing remission of self hatred in favor of the sensation that I am a human of spectacular calibre as an intoxicating scent of grandeur and beauty permeates my very being. This is perhaps the finest shaving cream I have ever known, and has led me to the compounding discovery that the purpose and utilization of loathsome Barbasol is, for lack of a better word, flagellation. Do not loathe and punish yourself with lesser shaving lubricants. Use this spectacular whipped sandalwood cream. It smells so good you will not want to use aftershave, and so fine is its quality that it may well not be necessary to soothe one’s aching inflamed skin, for this cream is to sensitive flesh what water is to a man dying of thirst.
Ten out of ten.

Originally given to me as a present, I continue to reorder more of this true shaving “cream” whenever I run out. I have very sensitive skin and can’t stand shaving so I use this thicker cream shaving balm under regular shaving cream and it’s amazing! I’m sure it works well as just a shaving cream as well; wet your face and apply.
