Used the Tobacco Leaf this evening and enjoyed the heck out of it. One of my favorites
I ordered the Lime Zest. Rose is something I don't have any of. Maybe the Rose would be worth a try. Anyone have any experience with the Rose?
Unfortunately, unlike a lot of other TOBS creams which do have extracts from their scents namesakes, Avocado has 0 avocado extracts or product derived from avocados. It is just artificial fragrance. It's why despite enjoying the scent a lot and having no qualms with the performance (I found it to be baseline average for TOBS) I rated it quite lowly compared to the other creams in their line-up. It's probably why they discontinued it...wouldn't be surprised to see a cucumber TOBS cream with some actual cucumber extract in it get released in the near future.I think there is avocado in it...at least, avocado makes my face burn, and TOBS avocado definitely set off that reaction, unlike other TOBSes.

Cyril Salter Wild Rose is almost $10 more than TOBS. Anyone use the Geo F. Trumper Rose? That's more in line with TOBS price point wise.
It's been a while since I've used the Trumper rose, but I don't remember being impressed with it. I'd go for TOBS over Trumper, if Cyril Salter is too expensive.

Mine was definitely different.

I don't know whether I got an old one or a new one though.Unless it's been changed lately, here's the ingredients WCS lists for TOBS Avocado:
Persea Gratissima is the INCI name for Avocado.
Check out Connaught Shaving for reasonably priced Cyril Salter. Even with shipping to the U.S. it’s pretty reasonable.Cyril Salter Wild Rose is almost $10 more than TOBS. Anyone use the Geo F. Trumper Rose? That's more in line with TOBS price point wise.

Avocado is my favorite. Lathers great! The only other TOB I have is Jermyn Street Sensitive, which is fine but not as good. I was disappointed that the Avocado is discontinued.
