The shaving cream from Taylor of Old Bond Street is deemed among the finest in the world. In fact, many gentlemen feel it contains all the important attributes of the ideal shaving cream: thick lather, great lubrication, and a non-irritating formulation that leaves the skin feeling moist and supple. This very dense cream, rich in essential oils, has changed little since developed by the son of the founder of the company in the mid 1800's. Though formulated to be applied with a shaving brush, the cream can also be applied by hand. St James is a very complex fresh herbaceous accord with crisp citrus top notes; it starts with Bergamot and Lavender on a layer of Rosemary and Coriander; it continues with Juniper and Clary Sage on a heart of warm Clove and Thyme; then it finishes with base notes of Patchouli and Olibanum with a touch of Amber. 5.3oz/150g jar. $18.49

 

Note: The Taylor of Old Bond Street creams use a hot pour method and are sold by weight. It is quite normal for creams made in such a way to have irregular cavity structures and for their surfaces to not be completely smooth. This does not affect the quality of the cream and should not be considered a flaw.
