Taylor of Old Bond StreetTobacco Leaf Shaving Cream Bowl, 5.3 Ounce

One of the best shaving soaps I've used, and I've tried several. It doesn't take much to whip a thick, luxurious lather, and the scent is very rich and masculine without being overwhelming. A little goes a LONG way, and one word of caution: it's a very "soft" soap and not milled like some of the other brands, so don't over moisten it or feel the need to let water stand in the bowl for a few minutes to get it brush-ready.

Would I buy this fragrance again? Absolutely! It is my preferred "fall-winter" shaving cream!The description that Taylor of Bond street gives is spot on, IMO.As soon as you crack open the lid of the tub, the wonderful scent & aroma fills the air! Lathering enhances it!The entire shaving experience is great with "note" of the tub! Even after the shave, the scent remains on your skin; my wife compliments it all the time!Dapper, sexy, handsome

Hands down the best shave soap on the market. Love the tobacco scent and the lather is full, thick, and creamy. It makes for a luxurious shaving experience.

Taylor of Old Bond Street makes great shaving cream. This is a new scent from them. The shaving cream works great, but I was not a big fan of the scent. Sandalwood is still my favorite.As with all Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving creams, they work great. The container advertises as a shaving bowl, but you will want to use a separate shaving bowl to create your lather.Once the bowl is empty, it can be used as an actual shaving bowl and does a pretty good job of it.A little goes a long way. All you need is one quick swirl of your shaving brush to have enough soap to create a great lather.If you have never tried Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving cream, give it try and see what you think. After trying them, I use them exclusively for my shaving cream needs.

UPDATE- The scent has grown on me. Still don't get where the tobacco is, but after using this a few times, the scent is pretty nice.I love TOBS, used it for years, my favorites are Cedarwood and Royal Forest. This one's new to me. It works great, lathers well, excellent shave just like all TOBS shaving creams are. But the scent is just okay, sweet with some cedar and other notes, but nothing really special for me. Not sure where they get tobacco leaf from, smells nothing like tobacco to me.

Absolutely brilliant product. My nephew was raving about this product, and particularly this brand. So thought I'd give it a try and see what the big deal was.I'm impressed! Excellent lather, great fragrance, and good for sensitive skin. Love the amount (see below), feeling when shaving, and post-shave feel.My problem: I always scoop up a "bit more" thinking I'm undergoing it, but then end up with way too much after using the brush. This stuff really whips up quite a bit. So, it's going to last a loooong time.Overall, highly recommend it. Yes, you can get cheaper ones, but given that this will last a really long time, it's worth spending just a bit more on something that makes you look forward to shaving :)

This is my go to for shaving cream - I try other things but I always come back to this one.

The shave soap itself is amazing. The lather, silky smooth feeling is second to none! The only reason for the 3 star review is because this smells nothing like any kind of tobacco leaf... I grow my own tobacco and make my own chew. I absolutely love the smell of tobacco leaves. So i was super excited to try this one. Unfortunately, it was a huge let down. When you are spending almost $30 for shave soap it needs be spot on with what it says it is. I will still use the brand, just not this scent.
