I found the Merkur razor not to my liking (I prefer a butterfly design) and I purchased a Parker 99R to use with my new Sandalwood shaving cream. Alas! The Parker razor pulled and tugged! I changed blades to Personna double edged "comfort coated" blades. I found the "comfort" to be entirely misleading. I switched to the Merkur and got identical results with different blades. The only commonality (besides the facial injuries) was...THE SOAP!!! I swapped out the Taylor for "goop in a can" - old fashioned, inexpensive, Barbasol. Magic! The razor(s) sang and the blades rejoiced! However there was a fly in the ointment (or in this case, soap) - I liked the Sandalwood scent and the 'feel' of the Taylor. The Barbasol, while admittedly functional, brought no joy to the art of shaving (other than the perhaps important one of not bleeding all over the bathroom sink). I re-read the reviews of the Taylor and they were (mostly) quite positive. Could it be that I have the one face in a thousand that resists the charms of the Taylor? Unlikely! This called for experimentation. I put a dollup (a very, very small dollup) of Barbasol in the Taylor bowl, placed the combination on my brush and gave it a go. Again, magic! Not quite as smooth as the Barbasol alone, and the soap dried out faster than the Barbasol, but the tugs and pulls were reduced by a large factor. I noticed that other reviewers had commented on fact that the Taylor soap lasted (in the bowl, if not on the face) quite awhile - and yet my supply was rapidly dwindling. (I was not then shaving every day with the Taylor). Could it be...me??? Could it be my technique??? The Barbasol is a fairly simply application - squirt the goo out of the can onto the fingertips and apply to the face. The Taylor required a brush and...and what??? After doing a bit more research (thank you, You Tube!) I decided my lathering technique was insufficient to the task at hand. I was placing my wet brush in the bowl, gathering a goodly amount (as one might with house paint) and placing on my face. It was going on as a soap, not as a lather! I procurred from my wife's stash a small Tupperware container, perhaps 2" deep and 3" across, filled it with hot water and placed my brush in it to soak for 2 minutes (timed). I dumped the water, shook the extra droplets from the brush and dipped just the ends of the bristles into the Taylor bowl, using very little of the soap. I then placed the brush in the still-damp Tupperware container and proceeded to beat the soap like a cheap rug. To my surprise and joy the soap lathered up very, very nicely indeed and, when placed on my face, was obviously much closer to the consistency of the Barbasol. The razor cut through the lather like...well, like a razor cutting through lather. No pulling, no tugging, no nicks, no scrapes and no beard left over. The entire problem I had with the Taylor soap for so many dreary, pain filled months was my technique. I may even invest in a shaving mug, in which to beat the Taylor soap into submission - but the Tupperware container seems to be doing a fine job on it's own (making up in usability what it lacks in style). The Barbasol has been placed back on the shelf and a new cup of Taylor is on the way. I would HEAVILY recommend, if one has trouble with the Taylor Sandalwood Shaving Cream, one re-examine one's technique. Trying to swirl it in the bowl that it comes in from London simply didn't work for me - I couldn't work up the requisite speed to create the desired consistency of lather. A seperate container worked wonders. Five stars for Taylor and five lashes with a wet noodle for me because I spent so long figuring out the solution. HTH Jim Review: My new shave soap - I used to use Proraso but got sick of only being able to get a foamy lather and containers with very little fragrance. I found a Reddit thread with a lot of people recommending Taylor of old bond. I decided to buy it and I'm glad I did. A air tight tub that holds the fragrance and doesn't dry out the shave soap. I can get a nice close shave the first time, my Derby blades don't go dull as fast, and get a nice thick lather. This first tub is an experimental one trying different combinations of soap to water. I have not had a bad lather yet. I would highly recommend this now over Proraso. ## Features - English Classic - Shave Cream - 150 g - Lavender Shaving Cream in a bowl. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0031OOHB0 | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,065 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #12 in Men's Shaving Creams | | Brand | Taylor of Old Bond Street | | Brand Name | Taylor of Old Bond Street | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 37,936 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00696770010037 | | Item Form | Cream | | Item Weight | 9.07 g | | Manufacturer | Taylor of Old Bond Street | | Manufacturer Part Number | 01003 | | Material Type Free | Paraben Free | | Model Number | 01003 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Benefits | Moisturizes and protects skin, suitable for sensitive skin. | | Scent | Lavender | | Scent Name | Lavender | | Skin Type | All | | UPC | 696770010037 749447044313 | | Unit Count | 5.3 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Taylor of Old Bond Street - **Item Form:** Cream - **Material Type Free:** Paraben Free - **Scent:** Lavender - **Skin Type:** All ## Images ![Lavender Shaving Cream Bowl, 5.3-Ounce 01003 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51LnTaUOZFL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Scent** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A tale of woe, foolishness, and redemption... *by B***T on July 26, 2014* I received a gift of Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Shaving Cream Bowl, 5.3-Ounce last Christmas, along with a new Merkur razor and Shark Stainless razor blades.

HTH Jim ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My new shave soap *by D***5 on August 30, 2026* I used to use Proraso but got sick of only being able to get a foamy lather and containers with very little fragrance. I found a Reddit thread with a lot of people recommending Taylor of old bond. I decided to buy it and I'm glad I did. A air tight tub that holds the fragrance and doesn't dry out the shave soap. I can get a nice close shave the first time, my Derby blades don't go dull as fast, and get a nice thick lather. This first tub is an experimental one trying different combinations of soap to water. I have not had a bad lather yet. I would highly recommend this now over Proraso. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Shaving Cream *by M***E on November 5, 2011* I just recently made the plunge into the world of "Real" wet shaving using a DE Safety razor. I did a lot of reviewing of products before I bought. From everything I read I knew I wanted to get a Best Badger brush 100% Best Badger Bristle Shaving Brush -- White & Chrome Handle with Free Stand From Parker Safety Razor and a good shaving cream. After doing the research on and off of Amazon I decided to give the Taylor of Old Bond Street a try as my first good shaving cream. After much debating I choose the almond scent. I found this shaving cream to be easy to lather. I'll explain how I form the lather later in this review. It goes on nicely and seems to work well for my face. The almond smell is nice but light. I would personally like it to have a slightly stronger scent. But I do like that it wears off quickly and does not conflict with my aftershave. Moving from the world of spray can foams, I think this cream is wonderful. This is my first brush on shaving cream so I don't have allot to compare this too. But this shaving cream does it's job and the cost seems reasonable. I would recommend at least giving this shaving cream a try. I plan on trying a few other scents in this line. I also plan on trying a few soaps. But I think the bar has been set high by starting with this cream. How I make a good lather: I did a bunch of research on how to create a good lather with a cream. After that research I found it was actually very easy. And this method works like a charm with this cream. 1) Prior to showering in the morning I run the sink to get the hottest water I can. I then fill a ceramic (non-white) bowl with hot water, then put the bowl in the sink and fill the sink to the top of the bowl. I then put my brush and razor in the bowl to soak while I shower. 2) After showering I pull the bowl from the sink (leaving water in sink) and dump the water from the bowl (back into the sink). I just pour out the bowl and do not dry it. 3) Shake your wet brush a few times to knock off the surface water. Just a few times will do it. When done you shouldn't have any visible drops on the outside of the brush. 4) Dip the brush into the tub of cream making contact and pressing down slightly. Then spin the brush 2 full rotations and remove from tub. A little goes a long way here. You can always add more if needed later. You should see a small amount of cream on the tips of all the hairs. 5) Swirl brush in bowl in one direction. I go clockwise. Perhaps those south of the equator would go counter clockwise :). Every 10th or so swirl pump the brush once or twice. Repeat until you get a good lather. If you don't start getting a good lather (to thin) in 30ish swirls, spin brush one more time in the cream tub and then continue swirling. I've found this method to be foolproof and gives you a warm and wonderful cream. There is a possibility that you get too much cream versus water with this method. It hasn't happened to me, but if it does (super stiff or chunky) then just wet your fingers in the sink and sprinkle a little water in the bowl. It's likely that different types/quality of brushes could require more or less spinning in the bowl. You'll get the hang of how many times to spin and how hard to press after a few shaves. Remember when spinning the brush in the bowl less is really more. ## Frequently Bought Together - Taylor of Old Bond Street Lavender Shaving Cream Bowl, 5.3-Ounce 01003 - Feather Double Edge Safety Razor Blades - (50 Count) - Platinum Coated Hi-Stainless Steel Razor Blades - Fits Most Safety Razors - Super Sharp for Close Shaves - Japanese Quality --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/1533164-lavender-shaving-cream-bowl-5-3-ounce-01003](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/1533164-lavender-shaving-cream-bowl-5-3-ounce-01003) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-10-24*
