Lemon and Lime! So sublime!
Citrus fills the air
Another fine shave from an underappreciated Taylor's gem. The citrus is well balanced by woody undertones - very masculine. The shave is top notch - not as good as the Rose, but solid nonetheless. I don't get the drying feeling with this citrus-based cream like I do with others such as Trumpers. Good stuff. I find the lather a bit on the thicker side with this Taylor's cream - heavier than the lavender, for instance.

I've been using the after shave balm for a week already and that impressed my so much I ordered the rest of the kit. This morning I "loaded the breach" and "cut with steel". After mixing it all up I found it so slick I had a hard time holding my razor. End result, very close shave with no problems going against the grain in the neck area. Tomorrow, I'll add a little T&H cream.

Moisture-laden shave
Yesterday I said that the Taylor's Lemon & Lime was underappreciated. I feel the opposite about the Avocado. For me, this stuff tends to languish in the drawer. I never wake up and say, "I am psyched to shave with the Avocado today". Sure, it is a good shave. Very rich and moist lather, soapy smell. It doesn't excite, though. It is sort of like taking medicine: "My face isn't feeling so great today - I'll shave with the Avocado". I would much prefer the Rose or some of the other Taylor's line over this one.
