What is your opinion on fine shaving creams and hard soaps? Do you like Trumpers, Coates, Taylors, Truefitt & Hill? Post your reviews and opinions here!
I need to restock my cream supply and thinking of Taylors. Here's a quick survey question... List your top three favorite taylor shave creams (in order). Technically, I cant even give my top three, as I have only tried two scents at this point...
I'm of fan of the classic English shave cream scents. Most to the cologne scented varieties from Taylors, and others, are too strongly fragranced for my taste.
Regards,
Gordon
The only Taylor's shaving cream I've had access to was Avocado. It was wonderful lather, but the fragrance was pretty mild. Great stuff and a great shave, but I'd go with Gordon and the others regarding the best fragrances, if I were having to make a choice for a whole new tub of Taylors.

interesting! More replies favor the traditional scents. I was curious about the one called shave shop (?) but I do tend to like the old scents also. I may have to give almond a try. Good recommendations, folks!

So far I've only tried three, Almond, Avocado, and Lavender and like them all. I'm quessing that most of the Taylor scents are all pretty good so I would just pick what you like.
Jermyn Street. Yes, a softer texture type cream (cold cream) all natural type but I really do think, after all these years searching and using, it is just as fine as the 3 (older) T's, just add a bit more of that cream to the brush. A great smell with summer coming up and with a good brush/water ratio one can make this one work. I am a fan indeed.
