Customer Review: Awesome shave cream!
Best shave cream I’ve used. I’ve tried the unscented shave cream from Art of Shaving and the 1805 from Truefitt & Hill. This one seems to lather the best and provide the best shave with the least amount of irritation. It smells decent too. Tried Col. Conk’s Bay Rum shaving soap when I first started shaving with a DE razor… didn’t work so well for me. Kind of irritated my face… However, that was before, I stopped washing my face twice daily and before I started steaming my face before and after shaving. So, I’m thinking maybe I should test it out again… for a fair comparison. Haven’t tried anything from Geo F. Trumper or Talyor’s of Old Bond Street, so I can’t compare it to those… but judging by my shaves, I find it hard to believe there is anything better.
For those who are interested here is my equipment and method…
Equipment:
Merkur razor, Feather blades, generic badger hair brush, Ultimate Comfort shave cream from Truefitt & Hill.
My Method for Shaving:
(1) steam my face over a skillet of boiling water for 5 min (easier than a hot towel, and seems to do the trick, BIG improvement over just lathering up). (2) Create the warm lather in a bowl using a badger hair brush. (3) Apply lather with my hands (less irritation than the badger hair brush allowing for a second pass). (4) Shave… with the grain. (5) Repeat lather and shave for second pass (mostly with the grain, some days its against the grain on the second pass). Finish off with another 5 min of the steam treatment. If i do this with care, most days I don’t even need after shave balm. Oh, almost forgot an important detail… never wash your face! I was washing washing my face with regular bar soap twice a day, once in the morning and once at night, and my skin was really drying out and making it difficult to make more than one pass a day. Stopped washing my face and presto! clean shave and healthy skin. I’m guessing I could probably wash with a more mild facial soap… but I really don’t think its necessary. In my mind, the simple fact of lathering (shave creams are basically mild soaps with hair softeners and lubricants) and shaving should be enough to cleanse and remove any dead skin. I’m sharing this because I wish someone had told me this before I started… would’ve have saved me some pain and frustration. Really digging the results now, tho… hope this helps.

Taylor of Old Bond Street St. James Shaving Cream Jar A very complex fresh herbaceous accord with crisp citrus top notes; it starts with bergamot and lavender on a layer of rosemary and coriander; it continues with juniper and clary sage on a heart of warm clove and thyme; then it finishes with base notes of patchouli and olibanum with a touch of amber. This lightly scented shaving cream comes in a traditional 5.3oz jar. Can be applied with or without a brush.
Customer Review: Worth the expense.
I first started wet-shaving when I was 13. I always used the canned shaving cream, like barbasol or gillette, but hated the fact that it made my skin feel so slick and caused me to break out sometimes. And then there is the smell. If I want to put deodorant on my face I will do just that. Taylor of old bond street solved all of those problems. The cream itself works into a great lather and the scents available are wonderful. And considering each jar lasts me about 6 months, the cost is about the same as those canned creams in the long run. If you’ve never tried it, do so now. If you have, why are you reading this?

Customer Review: You’ll never feel the same about shaving again
These shave creams smell great and they really lubricate your skin giving you a great shave. I do not use a badger hair brush as I just use an amount about the size of a nickel on my index finger and rub it in with my hands. I never have razor burn anymore. It lasts a long time as well.
Customer Review: Old Bond Street Shaving Cream
Excellent product. It is very rich and creamy. Moisturizes your face wihile you are shaving. I get about 3 months use from one jar and I use a badger hair brush with it. It makes my girlfriend happy too!
