hello fellow chrome domes:
http://www.amazon.com/Taylor-Old-Bond-Street-Sandalwood/dp/B0007MW2ZW
I just wanted 2 share with U my review of the Taylor of Old Bond Street (TOBS) Sandalwood Shaving Cream. My beautiful wifey got this 4 me from Amazon.
It is packaged in a 5.3 oz plastic tub container. Immediately when I opened the container... the sandalwood scent filled the air & brought an instant smile 2 my face. My badger brush was able to get a nice thick lather. As I was shaving the face & dome... the cream allowed my blade 2 glide with ease. This cream is absolutely amazing. It is a keeper.
All in all... I give this product a big thumbs up. I like how it improves my shaves & my beautiful wifey loves the way it smells on me. Hope U enjoyed my review & hope all your shaves are smoooooooth.

Thanks fo rthe review Warhawk!
It's a bit pricey....... Do you think that 5.3 ounce tub will last or is it going to be here and gone? -

If u use it right, and work up a good lather all u need is an almond sized amount (or less) for each shave, even if you have to relather. I use TOBS avocado and I can't even tell I have touch the tub after 3 weeks of almost daily shaving.

Like SlyAggie said, it does last.
I used a different soap but it is in the same sized container. I got in December and there is still 1/2 to slightly less than 1/2 of it left. You only need a tiny amount to work up a good lather. I also am a daily face shaver. -

Thanks for the review
It indeed is a little pricey compared to other products but sooner or later I will sure try this. One of the great things of being sly is to be able to try out different products all the time, I really enjoy that, it's just that you need a budget for that alone -

This sounds like good stuff guys. I plan on trying it one day myself, when budget allows.

I have a tub of this stuff coming in the mail along with a Vulfix badger brush with razor/brush stand! I've only used the boar bristle brush from Van Der Hagen (the one at Wal-Mart) and threw it away months ago after about a year of use. I think that brush had MPB because multiple hairs fell out each time I used it.
I'm pretty excited to be shaving in style soon. I'll be adding a Merkur DE razor to the collection next and see if I can successfully make the switch to truly traditional wetshaving. -

Sounds great! That brush should be a big improvement!
This is also my plan just need to get a wriggle on!
Let us know how you get on. -

I have this stuff right now and it is awesome. It's actually cheaper than other creams if you use it correctly and it is better. Unmatched scent! Old-school barbershop scent. Our fathers and grandfathers would be proud!

I've been anxiously awaiting the badger brush and it arrived today!
I've been sink-shaving (as opposed to my normal shower shaving) the past couple times to prepare for using a brush and a tub of cream (have been getting incredible shaves lately, much closer and longer lasting than my shower shaves, but that's for another post). So after a hot shower I loaded the wet badger with this great smelling TOBS Sandlewood, which was a much easier process than the VDH soap pucks I've tried in the past. The first thing I noticed when swathing the cream on was not the cream itself, but the quality of the brush. If you're not using a brush or are using a boar-bristle, you're missing out on the incredible feel and lathering quality of the badger hair.
Overall, my shave was quite satisfactory, though not exceptional. I attribute this to skipping my usual pre-shave oil (to see what the TOBS cream was truly like) and inexperience with a shaving CREAM instead of gel or HeadSlick. Definitely looking forward to my next shave with the stuff!
EDIT: It's been about an hour since my shave and there are absolutely no red bumps on my neckline! It's a common problem.
