I already own Eaton College and Lavender, but I would like to add another TOBS product to my lineup. I have narrowed it down to 3 creams. The Sandlewood, Shave shop, and Mr Taylor's. I know that everyone has their own opinion on scents and I tend to lean toward clean, old fasioned barber type smells. I would love any thoughts or advice on the performace and scent of these creams

Shave Shop fits that description perfectly.
Shave Shop or Mr. Taylor would be my choices in that order. I own and use both in my rotation.

+1 on Shave shop. I love this cream and the smell is old fashioned barbershop, Hence the name.

haha will let ya know Capt! Oh and Frank love your Myrsol avatar. I just bought the antisol and love it as a pre!! been using the F/extra for a few weeks and think its tops!!
I agree with them. Try the shave shop, I think you will like it.
-If not I have a tube of Mr. Taylors I can trade for the shave shop.

I really like the Sandalwood. I may have to try Shave Shop based on the reviews here!
Has anyone tried the St. James? I'm looking to try my first TOBS and am deciding between the St. James or the Eton. Or does someone else have a different vote for what should be my first Taylor?Thanks,

I have the eton and I love it. Its a very citrusy scent, but not overpowering. It smells fresh and soapy but YMMV. As far as the lather it provides you can't go wrong there. I get slick consistent lather everytime I use it. hope this helps
I apply a thin layer of Mr. Taylor's as a pre-shave, then face-lather with soap on top of it. I would describe it as a classic barber-shop scent that is not too strong (and therefore good for superlathers where you want the soap's scent to predominate).

interesting! Thanks for the tip! I'm always on the hunt for that just outta the barbershop scent
Definitely Shave Shop. I was just in a store on Sunday and almost purchased it, but decided to go with Grapefruit (I've been wanting it for awhile). Next time I buy a TOBS cream though, I will be getting Shave Shop. It has a really nice classic barber shop smell to it.
Thanks for the recommendation. I think it is going to be the next cream that I try.
Here's another question, have you ever tried a cream called Tabac?
Thanks,

I like coconut and find TOBS coconut very synthetic and not very pleasant. I would nut purchase again. YMMV.
