This is a review of two creams I have recently purchased and tried. The first is Truefitt & Hill 1805 and the second, Mr. Taylor's of Old Bond Street Mr. Taylor.
T&H 1805
I had tried the sample pack from T&H, and enjoyed all of the scents offered what grabbed me was the 1805 and it's scent as well as it's latherability were wonderful as were all of the T&H samples. The 5.6 ounce tub did not disappoint either in size, nor in scent or in shaving ability. Some reviews have said 1805 smells like an oceany scent but I find it as a masculine scent.
TOBS Mr. Taylor
The TOBS Mr. Taylor when I opened it reminded me of the scent of old spice but surprised me with great latherability, and a nice distinct shave smell almost a clean soapy smell.
The question I have is, TOBS Mr. Taylor, is that I took a shower, and put warm water on my face and lathered up for the first pass WTG. It went well. For the second pass, ATG and third pass ATG, I got a good shave but missed a few spots I usually don't miss with T&H 1805. I noticed the Taylors said it did not have an parabons in it. What is a parabon? Also I did not put water on my face for the second and third pass. What am I doing wring when I shave?
I would highly recommend both creams. Purchase the T&H sample pack and the travel tube of TOBS. I'm not sure if TOBS makes a sample pack I know Geo. F. Trumpers does. Does anyone have any experience shaving with Geo. F. Trumpers? I would be interested to hear from you more experienced shavers that have used any of these creams.
Best,
Jerry
