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 did a search and discovered that no threads on this cream in a while and I decided that this wonderful little cream with it's herbaceous scent needed some love.

When first getting into this hobby about 3 years ago my first and only SC was a tube of TOBS Avocado. I think I made a good first pick. I used that tube up long ago but see a pot of this in my near future. Sending some love here...
My first cream, also. Tubed. In combo with an SR3824, the Avocado produced delicious, decadent lather. But then I got the wandering eye. Hope she'll take me back.
Taylor's Avocado along with their Rose and Lavender were the holy trinity for me when I first started. Even now, I find these creams very comforting when I use them.

Great stuff. If I had to pick but one product from Taylor's lineup it would be the Avocado cream. Some say it is not what it once was and I never had an older version for comparison but I'm quite happy with the way the one I have works.
Chris, there actually have been many glowing reviews of Avocado here (perhaps not evident in the titles of threads that you searched), and on the basis of those I ordered a pot last year. Performance was fine, but I'm sorry to say I could not abide the fragrance. It was very modern, strong, and (to me) cheap-smelling, like many of the shampoos and skin lotions available today on drugstore shelves. I'd advise anyone who is picky about fragrances to order a sample first. If you like it, more power to you.
Has anyone used the new paraben-free version? When I smelled TOBS Avocado at Colonial Drug a few years ago, it smelled like baby-wipes I love TOBS creams and would definitely pick up this one if the scent were better.
TOBS Avacado was, if I remember correctly, my first shave cream. It was a good introduction to shave cream, but I got away from using it. I like it performance wise, but don't care much for the scent.
We're everywhere, Porter. And we are watching you.
Best,
