    Default Most popular TOBS creams?

    I've only tried sandalwood. Just wondering if there's a consensus as to which are the better creams from TOBS. Which should I go for next?

    You'll probably get a lot of different answers as they're all pretty good. I prefer St. James and Jermyn Street.

    I think the different creams perform exactly the same. Scent wise I prefer Rose, Mr Taylor and Avocado.

    The Rose was very nice, but then I tried Klar Kabinett soap and some Rose of Bulgaria cream and found them much better. A co-worker had the Lemon&Lime and Lavender creams and they smelled excellent (but I didn't get a sample.... waaah!). I've heard GREAT things about the Avocado cream and if you buy it and don't like it, I'll buy it from you (Been itching to try this for a long time).

    I'm intrigued by the Mr. Taylor - I've never seen incense in a shaving cream before. Is it strong?

    The sandalwood is also generally accepted to be fairly sweet, isn't it?

    The Mr. Taylor is a rather weak cologne type of shaving cream compared to other cologne types of shaving cream.
    The Sandalwood is rather strong and not a sandalwood, but more like a cologne type of spicy shaving cream IMHO

    YMMV

    I've worked my way through a tub of TOBS Rose, which I liked but won't be buying again. I've also tried samples of Shave Shop, Mr. Taylor and Eton College. I really liked the Eton College, I might buy a tub of that once I've worked my way through some of soaps in my rotation. The Mr. Taylor cream was also good.

    I've had 6 Taylor creams (rose, sandalwood, mr taylor, eton, avocado and sensitive skin). The only one I still use and reorder is Rose. The only one I have any interest in trying sometime down the road is Jermyn St.

    Have tried almost all of them except almond, and rose. That being said, it's a close tie between Mr. Taylor and Eaton College.

    The Avocado and Rose are sure winners for me.

    I also find the sandalwood very strong.

    For me
    1. Jermyn St.
    2. St. James
    3. Mr. Taylor

    Rose, Lavender, and Sandalwood are hard to beat.

    I've only used two, Mr. Taylor and Rose. I found myself really enjoying the Mr. Taylor and used it frequently, the Rose I don't reach for as frequently. Both performed well, guess I'm just partial to the cologne smell rather than the floral. My next one will probably be either St. James or Jermyn St.

    I will say when I first opened the tub and smelled the Mr. Taylors, I thought I made a mistake. But, it lightens up when you make a lather with it.

    I've used a few. So far I love the Sandalwood, Rose and St. James. I've tried a few more and haven't been disappointed by any of them. Sill want to try the avocado.

    I find the TOBS creams to be great performers and I like all of the scents that I have tried so far. I like the classic scent of Mr. Taylors, Rose and Shaving Shop. Avocado and St. James are very nice as well. I think that I have eight of their creams and am pleased with all of them. They are a good value in my view as well.

    I love the crisp sweet clean scent of the avocado. And it's moisturizing from the oils is right up there with some of the good Italian soft soaps.
