TOBS balm Vs Pre de Provence balm...

[og_smooth]

Hi,

I am tossing up whether to get Taylor of Bond Street Mr Taylor aftershave balm or Pre de Provence Aftershave balm...

Anyone have anything good to say about either or maybe even tried both and have a preference?

Many Thanks

I have not tried the TOBs balm. I do use the Pre de Provence balm. I like it a lot. It has a pleasant, subtle scent and does not feel 'heavy' or 'greasy'. I use a couple of other balms as well, but I would rate the Pre de Provence as one of my favorites. (I also like the Nivea 'Cooling' Balm - inexpensive and a good performer, Pehnaligon's Blenheim Bouquet Balm - more expensive, excellent performer with a bit stronger scent, and Proraso Liquid Cream After Shave Balm - light pleasant herbal scent and light, non-greasy feel).

Based on your choices, you may want to make your decision based on scent and any cologne or aftershave you may plan to use.. Mr Taylor is a cologne-like based scent , the Pre de Provence is a lighter, clean scent.

PdP has wonderful moisturizing, but I hated the scent. I have yet to try TOBS though.

I prefer the scent of the TOBS balm (especially the sandalwood) but I think the PdP balm is more soothing.

+1 on PdP. For some reason both the soap and the balm really agree with my skin and are very soothing. Nice moisturizing properties as well. I happen to also like the scent very much.
