The only shaving cream i have used since my venture into wet shaving was Tailors of old bond streets almond scented cream that was at the beginning of this year. Not until recently i purchased a new tub of Taylors Mr taylor cream (mainly because my original tub is almost finally finished) and i really like the smell and it feels smoother for some reason not sure why it does say parabens free but not entirely sure what that is. But now to the point id like to know if im missing out on any if i decide to stick with the Taylor products.
