Taylors of Old Bond Street Jermyn Street Collection Shaving Cream for Sensitive Skin Screw Tread Pot 150gr

This is an old traditional style shaving cream that I have used for many years, a gift at Christmas from my daughter reminded me just how good a shave this provides with a generous lather and a great smell. This is a replacement for the now expired Xmas gift so six months daily shaving is more than reasonable. Great quality and another classic gentleman’s grooming product from Taylor’s

No matter which Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving cream I buy, I find that the quality is always great. They have hit the spot yet again with their Taylors of Old Bond Street Shaving Cream (150g, Jermyn Street).According to the tub, the Jermyn Street cream is designed for sensitive skin, and I have indeed noticed that the lather tends to be a little bit thicker than the other TOBS creams. You can always compensate with a touch more water if you prefer your lather to be a little bit thinner. The lather develops really quickly and you only need a little bit on the tips of the brush. The lather is nice and dense, doesn't dry out quickly, and it gives a nice comfortable shave. The razor just glides across the skin. I use an alum block after I shave, which tends to highlight any areas that are perhaps a little bit raw (usually on my neck) - but after shaving with the Jermyn Street cream there is no feedback whatsoever from the alum block. Not even the slightest nip. So it is certainly good at cushioning and protecting the skin during the shave.The scent is also really nice. I find it a bit more subtle compared to the other TOBS creams. It doesn't really last for any length of time after the shave, but for me this is not a problem. I always use aftershave balm in any case. If you have an aftershave of a different scent, then you will be able to use it after the Jermyn Street cream without any problem - it is subtle enough that it won't clash. I tend to use sandalwood aftershave gel (from TOBS), and the Jermyn Street cream compliments it nicely.The packaging is the usual TOBS affair with a screw top plastic pot. I find that the black colour of the pot gives it an air of sophistication as it sits in the bathroom. I like the TOBS pots because, once they are empty, I tend to use them as a lathering bowl - just the right size and works great.So, in summary, the Jermyn Street shaving cream is a great product that I highly recommend.

Easy to lather and leaves your face without burn or dryness.

Being sensitive to shaving, i have tried many shaving creams and oils over many years,, none of which come close to the comfortable shave that this stuff helps you achieve, I can use the same blade for many more shaves, when in the past I would probably have had four to six shaves with the one blade,Using the cream takes a little more effort than the convenience of a spray can, I find that applying is best done with a brush, I use the inside of the lid to mix approx a sugar lump size, blob of cream, dip the brush in to very hot water and work the cream in to a lather, applying, when I think it ready, not too runny or thick, While preparing the shaving the shaving cream, I keep a warm damp cloth pressed on to the areas to be shaved, Using this system really has been kind to my face, under the chin and neck especially, I also get a lot more blade usage miles which offsets the expense, , I can with no reservation, recommend Jermyn Street Collection for Sensitive Skin, to any one looking for a close, smooth, comfortable shave,Go for it, as they say, you are worth it

Makes a great creamy lather with a brush making it much nicer to shave with than foam from a can. Nice scent although not particularly strong. Jar closes nice and tight for traveling. Seems like it will last at least three months shaving 4-5 times a week. Annoyingly I dropped mine onto a tiled floor and it has cracked - my fault but my one suggestion would be for a more flexible jar material that would be that bit more robust.

This ticks all the boxes. I only shave two or three times a week and only my head. A tiny chickpea sized amount is enough to cover a complete shave of my large head. As the current rate of consumption this tub could last couple of years - and I would definitely order again as it smells great, but most importantly cuts down those little nicks to the skin and leaves the skin nicely moisturised. Great value, great product.

Very good. Used before and preferred choice very good as always

This was my first Jermyn Street purchase, but certainly won’t be my last. It forms a really rich, creamy lather, smells fantastic (without overpowering), and is great for sensitive skin. What’s more, whilst it may seem costly compared to some alternatives, very little is needed per shave, and so the tub lasts several months
