About Taylor of Old Bond Street
The brand belongs to the classic English wet-shaving tradition. Its creams are rich and slow to dry, giving a cushion between razor and skin that suits safety razors, straight razors and cartridges alike. A small amount goes a long way when it is lathered with a brush, which is why a single 150g bowl lasts regular shavers months.
The shaving creams are grouped by fragrance. Sandalwood is the signature: warm and woody, and also offered as a hard shaving soap in a turned wooden bowl, a soap refill, a 75ml travel tube, an after shave gel and a talcum powder. Royal Forest is fresh and green, Jermyn Street is the line for sensitive skin with an allergen-free fragrance, and the rest of the bowls cover citrus, floral, herbal and woody profiles, including Lime Zest, Grapefruit, Eton College, St James, Mr Taylors, Lavender, Rose, Almond, Peppermint, Cedarwood, Natural and Oud.
Around the shave sits a small range of finishing and body products: after shave creams and lotions, Tobacco Leaf and Royal Forest deodorant sticks, Tobacco Leaf Hair and Body Shampoo, and the Jermyn Street Alcohol Free Cologne.
The Taylor of Old Bond Street Range
Taylor of Old Bond Street Shaving is the heart of the brand, with every shaving cream bowl, the Sandalwood soap refill and the after shave creams and gels. Start with Sandalwood Shaving Cream Bowl 150g, try Royal Forest for something fresher, or choose Jermyn Street Shaving Cream for Sensitive Skin if your skin reacts easily. For aftercare there is Sandalwood After Shave Gel, Jermyn Street After Shave Cream and Royal Forest After Shave Cream.

How to Choose the Right Taylor of Old Bond Street Product
First wet shave: Sandalwood Shaving Cream Bowl is the classic starting point. Pair it with a shaving brush, or buy the Sandalwood Brush and Cream Gift Set to get both.
Sensitive or reactive skin: Jermyn Street Shaving Cream for Sensitive Skin and Jermyn Street After Shave Cream, or the Jermyn Street Brush and Cream Gift Set.
By scent: warm and woody (Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Oud), fresh and green (Royal Forest, Peppermint), citrus (Lime Zest, Grapefruit, Eton College) or floral (Rose, Lavender). Natural is the low-key choice.
Soap or cream: Sandalwood Soap in Wooden Bowl is a hard soap that takes a little longer to load onto a brush but lasts a long time. Creams lather faster and suit beginners.
Travel: the Sandalwood Shaving Cream Tube 75ml fits a wash bag and can be lathered by hand or with a brush.
Finishing: a balm-style after shave cream for comfort and moisture, After Shave Gel for a lighter feel, or a lotion such as Oud or Tobacco Leaf when fragrance is the priority.

How much shaving cream should I use?
About an almond-sized amount is enough for one shave when lathered with a brush. Add a little more if you are doing two passes.
How do I prepare my skin before shaving?
Wash your face with warm water, or shave after a shower, to soften the beard. Then lather and shave with the grain first.

Wet the soap surface, then swirl a damp brush over it for 20 to 30 seconds to load it. Build the lather on your face, and leave the bowl open to dry afterwards.

Rinse with cool water, pat dry, then apply an after shave cream, gel or lotion. Choose a cream if your skin feels tight or dry.
