Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Shaving Cream Bowl 5.3 oz — Dense Lather, Moisturizing Protection

Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Shaving Cream Bowl is a 150 g (5.3-ounce) traditional shaving cream that whips into a dense, protective lather with a warm sandalwood aroma.

This shaving cream arrives in a resealable bowl and is formulated to create a smooth, cushioning foam when worked with a shaving brush. Taylor of Old Bond Street has crafted classic shaving products since 1854; this sandalwood edition combines moisturizing ingredients with a multi-layered fragrance profile inspired by English barbering traditions. The cream is paraben-free and designed to suit a broad range of skin types when used as directed.

How does this shaving cream improve the shave?

The formula builds a rich, creamy lather that helps the razor glide more smoothly across the skin, reducing friction and allowing for a closer, more comfortable shave. Its moisturizing components leave skin feeling soft without a heavy or greasy finish.

• Creates dense, protective foam for blade glide
• Contains emollients to help soften stubble
• Non-greasy finish for easy rinsing
• Works best when used with a shaving brush and warm water

What does the sandalwood fragrance smell like?

The scent is a classic sandalwood composition layered with top notes of geranium, lavender and rosemary and supported by a heart of carnation, fern and orange blossom. The base blends patchouli, warm sandalwood and powdery musk for a rounded, traditional barbershop profile.

• Top: geranium, lavender, rosemary for fresh opening
• Heart: carnation, fern, orange blossom for floral warmth
• Base: patchouli, sandalwood, musk for depth and longevity
• Balanced for a timeless, masculine fragrance experience

How do I use the cream for the best results?

Scoop a small amount from the resealable bowl and whip it with a wet shaving brush in a bowl or directly on the face to create a thick lather. Allow the lather to sit briefly to soften the beard, shave with the grain, and rinse thoroughly after finishing.

• Use warm water and a badger or synthetic brush for dense lather
• Apply 1–2 pea-sized amounts to start; adjust as needed
• Shave with light strokes and rinse blade between passes
• Reseal the bowl to preserve the cream; use within 12 months after opening

Are there ingredients or packaging details I should know?

The cream lists common shaving soap and skin conditioning ingredients such as stearic and myristic acids, glycerin, and coconut-derived fatty acids, plus fragrance components. For environmental reasons the product no longer includes a plastic inner cap; surface irregularities in the cream are normal and do not affect performance.

• Key components: stearic acid, myristic acid, glycerin, coconut fatty acid
• Paraben-free formulation suitable for many skin types
• Fragrance contains naturally derived scent molecules like linalool and geraniol
• 150 g (5.3-ounce) resealable bowl; note on absent inner cap

Who is this for? This sandalwood shaving cream bowl suits anyone who prefers a traditional, brush-applied wet shave with a classic barbershop fragrance. It appeals to users who value a dense lather, a balanced woody-floral scent, and a moisturizing, non-greasy finish.
