It was a St. James kind of morning.
Introducing teamTOBS!
- Thread starter Mendel

Have to join with you all on this. I like the Jermyn Street and Sandalwood in my rotation.
I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on some Taylor of Old Bond Street........I guess the staple would have to be Sandalwood?
Yes, that would be the standard one to try. My personal favorite is Lavender and I highly recommend it.
so you guys all love the Sandalwood, what makes it so great.
Also what about the Cedarwood, does anyone here use it, and what are the opinions on that one?
I have used Cedar Wood. It was ok same performance as all the rest really easy to lather etc. The scent was ok nothing to write home about a little on the strong side. So if strongly scented creams are your deal then it will be a good performer.
As for Sandalwood it's the most "Classic" scent there is in shaving. You have probably already smelt it as it is the gold standard of shaving scents. You cannot go wrong with Sandalwood. It is the safest option and if it is your first TOBS cream then for sure go with Sandlewood.
If you want to be more of a daredevil you can go with Cedarwood or Lavender and give them try. All the creams perform relatively the same.
Alternatively, you can get all 12 scents sampler set and go from there.

Thank you for the help, I’m looking for something for the winter, so that cedarwood is appealing, however everyone here claims the sandalwood is the best route, so that’s what I’m going to go with.
So almost to a year, I have finally joined the TOBS team, I'm looking forward to my new container of Sandalwood! many pics to come I'm sure!
Sign me up, TOBS is my regular lather. Have accumulated 7 different scents and rotate a different one each day. Really enjoy the scents, easy to lather, never get irritation or dry skin. The only other lather that works as well for me is MWF, but the scent is not as pleasant and there is only one. LIke MWF - great cushion, glide, post shave feel, and many great scents on top of it all. TOBS is great.
So here's some of my feedback since joining the TOBS Brotherhood.
-Sandalwood is super sweet almost a clean smell, not like the sandalwood from Proraso.
-Somewhat disappointed in the smell and the hype I read online about this soap
-Very impressed with the overall thickness of the lather and the density
-Feels great on my face and very happy to use it
Will I buy TOBS again........yes.......what scent will I get?...........not too sure, but I will almost always have a tub of this stuff in my rotation. It's a very luxurious soap and I feel great after using it!

Just tried the Royal Forest today. I enjoyed it. Typical TOBS performance. The scent is good but a little on the "faint" side.
Anyone else tried this scent?

I'm in! I currently have Grapefruit and Coconut. They have quickly become favorites in my rotation.
TOBS sandalwood is a really good shaving cream. Lathers very easily.
Love Jermyn Street. It’s one of two soap/cream in my rotation.

Precious few things can beat a TOBS Sandalwood shave...
I got a tub of the Rose cream that's really treated me right, not going to lie, I'm going to be bummed when it's gone as I don't know if I will replace it again, we will have to see! But I'm sure I'll always have a tub of Taylor something or another in my rotation.
