Most popular TOBS creams?

**7 O Menthol** · 07-28-2012, 08:48 PM

I personally LOVE the Avocado, and I know it comes up often as a TOBS favorite.
I suspect I'll enjoy the coconut as well, although I'll need to be nearing the bottom of my GFT Coconut tub before that one sees my den.

Another vote for Jermyn St. My wife loves its subtle, unusual scent.

+1 for Avocado (its the only ive tried) but it moved trumpers lime off my top 3 creams/soaps. hoping their lemon/lime doesnt dissapoint.

I prefer the scent of the lavender, but felt the avocado gave a better shave.

**Vivasanti** · 07-28-2012, 11:42 PM

I have

Almond which the wife uses
Sandalwood which is great
Mr Taylors, smells smooth and manly

1. Sandalwood; 2. Mr. Taylor; 3. Shaving Shop. Gave Mr. Taylor and Jermyn Street to my brother to keep him stocked on creams. Gave 1/2 a tub of shaving shop to my father to get him started wet shaving...sandalwood is going nowhere! I would order any of the above listed again, especially the Mr. Taylor, but sandalwood will always have a spot in my den.

i like Jermyn Street which i'm working my way though at the moment. I have a sample of Eton College which also smells nice.

i wouldnt mind trying Almond, Avocado or Coconut next.

I think i'll visit Taylor's London shop and smell them all to see which i prefer. It's only a couple of stops on the tube from where i work, so saves me buying a load more samples.

Jermyn Street ordered!

**Toddy** · 07-29-2012, 01:48 PM

Almond as it's the only scent so far from Taylor that I don't hate

+1

I have Sandalwood, Mr. Taylor, Eton College, and Avocado. Sandalwood is my favorite, Avocado is my least favorite. The scent to me smells like an artificial (perfumy) fresh cut cucumber.

Don't just go by scent, the Avocado smells weird in the tub but once you lather/apply it, it unleashes a whole different smell and the shave if by far one of the finest (non-lanolin creams, a whole diff debate aside) creams I've had. Personally, I only put it behind 1. Musgo (lanolin) 2. Mikes Natural Barbershop (lanolin) 3. TOBS Avocado, but YMMV. There was a thread about the scent like a week-2 weeks ago? I may look for it. Just my $0.02

EDIT: Found that thread http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthr...hlight=avocado

finally tried a sample of the avocado. WOW! superb lather. beautiful smell. not quite avocado, which I loved. I'm a HUGE fan of razorock green tobacco (aka "il pepino) so I love the fresh grassy scents which are hard to come by with some brands. it's a must for overal greatness in performance AND scent

**s204STi** · 07-29-2012, 10:52 PM

Really need buy the tubs lmao! For me it's

Eton College
Avocado
Rose

**cryhavoc** · 07-30-2012, 01:06 PM

I have tried the Lavender and the Avocado, great shaves but they smelled terrible! I'm thinking of trying a sample of Mr Taylor in the future.

**DMT** · 07-31-2012, 11:25 AM

I've tried Limes and Sandalwood so far, sandal wood is my my favorite of the two and out of all the sandalwoods I've tried. I know it's not a true sandalwood, but I love that sweet hint of vanilla mixed with the woody spice.

**woodasptim** · 07-31-2012, 12:31 PM

TOBS Almond is the only cream that I keep spare tubs of. It reminds me of my mother's baked cheesecake. A zero calorie comfort food so to speak.

**SubmarinerLV** · 07-31-2012, 01:49 PM

I've tried rose, avocado and the unscented. I find all three superb!

We have a hard time keeping the Almond, Eton College, Jermyn St. and Avocado on the shelves. It is crazy how fast those 4 scents fly. Sandalwood, Mr. Taylor's and Lemon and Lime go pretty quick as well.

**rand77** · 07-31-2012, 04:28 PM

Of the 3 I've tried, I prefer them in the following order:
1. Jermyn Street
2. Rose
3. Lemon and Lime

All 3 perform very good, although they seems to require slightly different amount of water for a thick creamy consistency. The smell of Jermyn steet is unique and pleasing, while the Rose is more subtle. The Lemon and lime cream smells exactly as you would expect, although I expected more from this cream. I'd say it smells like a cheap lemon fragrance found in household cleaners, but the cream does perform very well.
