taylors 'shaving shop' cream anyone?
Hi guys,
Has anyone used Taylors 'shaving shop' cream at all? I havent heard anyone give an opinion on this stuff, I just wondered what it smelled like. It certainly sounds interesting.

What Randy said. Hmmm, so that would be what I said.Best description that I can give is that it has a very "clean" smell to it. A very nice and distinguished scent. The cream also provides one hell of a good shave.

"clean smelling"....I believe it is a citrus base...I really enjoy it myself...I even have the cologne....
Really, that is the best that I can describe it....That "barber shop freshness"...Pinaud cologne has a different scent, but it too has a "clean fragrance"...

SHAVE AND A HAIRCUT...WAIT A SECOND WHAT ABOUT A SHOESHINE, TOO ????
Description from QEDUSA.com...........
<<Shaving Shop shaving cream
Revitalizing fresh Citrus is blended with the sophistication and ruggedness of precious Cedar and Oak woods. Add a virile undertone of musk over a floor of Sage and Rosemary and alluring Petitgrain for a lightly scented shaving cream that stimulates the senses and excites the emotions. >>

Shaving Shop is favorite shave of mine. Definitely starts off citrus and dries down to herbals. Very pleasant. Typical Taylor's fragranced cream, GREAT! I like the entire range. Excellent spray deodorant too. Keeps you smelling the citrus!

Thank you, Larry. I was hoping someone would get me out of having to type all that! Shaving Shop is a fairly strongly scented cream, as are all the Taylor proprietary scented shave goods. Personally, I like the scent better in the shave cream, then in the cologne, but that's just me. Some insist that this is the cream that they actually use in the Taylor's barbershop in Jermyn Street. Regards, Gordon

I think you will look back on this decision as a wise one. Of all the Taylor's cologne fragranced creams, Shaving Shop has the most pronounced fragrance, and perhaps the most delightful one at that.

Mark's description of Shaving Shop as having "that barber shop freshness" has really piqued my interest. Now, I've gotta try this stuff too. I'm putting it next on my list. Wonder why they don't offer a hard soap in the same fragrance?

Any hardsoap you want from Taylors, as long as it is either sandalwood or lavender. (Both of which are good)

Right you are! Ah, the scuttle-sized pucks. Yes, wouldn't consider them unless I could own that beautiful bone china scuttle I saw last year, with the lilacs.. It was a piece of art.

Hi guys,
Well, I ordered some of the shaving shop cream and it arrived yesterday. I have to say that this stuff is FANTASTIC! My usual cream is trumpers limes, but I like sandalwood scents also (I wear trumpers spanish leather cologne), and wouldn't you know it but the smell of this cream is a mixture of citrus and sandlewood! I can't put my finger on it, initial hits of citrus followed my a deeper spicy scent. I really love it.
In fact, I can't believe it's been so long since I used Taylors (I used to use their almond shaving cream for years), as I found it to generate significantly more lather than my usual trumpers creams using the same volume. Combine that with the price (taylors is half the price of trumpers), and I think I've found a new best friend!!
