Taconic Bay Rum Shave Cream Review

The Taconic Bay Rum Shave Cream was a little tricky to get the lather and water ratio right with at first, and the mixture is quite gooey and sticky. However, I was quite happy with its protective effect while shaving and a fair post-shave moisturizing effect.

Geo.F. Trumper Spanish Leather Shaving Cream Review

The scent of Geo.F. Trumper Spanish Leather Shaving Cream was an interesting and quite curious blend that grew on me after a few uses. The latherability is great, and it only requires a small dollop to get a good lather going.

Simpson Sandalwood Shaving Cream Review

The scent of the Simpson Sandalwood Shaving Cream is mild, musky, and woodsy, with some citrus and geranium notes. The cream lathers up very quickly and provides the slickness required for a well-lubricated shave experience.

Taylor of Old Bond Street Oud Shaving Cream Review

The Taylor of Old Bond Street Oud Shaving Cream in a tub I picked up was just as lubricated and latherable as other TOBS creams I have used and nicely comforting after the shave. The Oud scent was a terrific, fresh kind of fruity and earthy scent delight.

Proraso Red Shaving Cream in a tube is geared towards those gents that require a more oily type of lubricant. It lathers up very quickly, has a mild sandalwood scent, and makes an ideal travel companion.
