I must be the only person that does not care for sandalwood. But, I really like the cedarwood!
Hey RE, I'm someone who has moved away from electric and multi-blade razors because of how often I get ingrown hairs and scars. My hair is extremely coarse and difficult to shave without getting ingrowns. I've tried the Supply SE razor for many months now and I still get ingrowns/scars and the shave is not very close. I use Proraso products, which I like, and I only do one pass shaves as suggested in your prevent ingrown hairs youtube vid. Do you have any recommendations for which razor I should use instead?
I love the scents from TOBS, some of my favorite. The Sandalwood scent is a league of its own. My only niggle I have is that TOBS's creams do not have the slickness of some of my favorite soaps – Barrister & Mann in particular.
I prefer TOBS out of all the other brands you mentioned. Personally, I would highly recommend their products, all are of the highest quality, in my view.
So many good ones I can’t say I have a fave unfortunately. I’ll always have at least 1 kind of TOBS on the shelf for the rest of my life though. (Right now I have 8…)
Royal forest is my absolute favourite
We are very proud of Tobs in England 🏴
I used Taylor of old Bond street and he is a another question I was looking up super adjustable razor in eBay and I saw you have a eBay account that you sell Vintage Gillette razors modern razors and shaving soap ect
This was my intro into better shave creams/soaps once I started DE shaving. I cannot, however, recommend it if you are using a DE shaver. Store bought shaver? Yes. But the last time I used it the razor burn compared to a good shave soap (Razor Emporium, Arianna and Evans, Zingari Man) was very, very noticeable. The scents are good so get them for your family who still use store bought shavers/razors. But for DE shaving you need to upgrade to preshave oil/soap and a good shave soap.
Nice collection by tobs
Good information,,,thanks Matt
I was actually given a tub of the Sandalwood by my sister this day, as a surprise gift. I tried it out for the first time tonight. It was quite nice. I agree that the post-shave feel of my face is excellent, but I tend to credit that more to having a razor of the very best quality: a Rex Envoy XL. A few months ago, I also purchased the Organic unscented cream. I'm not sure what to think about TOBS creams at this time. I have a lot to learn about achieving the perfect shave. I think at this time, I'm moving in the right direction with my razor choices, and still learning about pre-shave treatments and shaving creams.
Tobs is cheap but not cheappie
They have very good products
and they are a staple in the
wet shaving world. Sandalwood
Grapefruit and even newest Oud, Lime zest or Tobacco are
great samples of how good
a shaving cream can be but
without being a bank breaker.
Good show Matt.👌
Jermyn street — sounds like German.
Fougere — sounds like Foo-zhair
Royal Forest is fantastic, as is Oud. I can't decide which is my favourite, but both offer some of the best lather out there.
I have enjoyed many of TOBS products for many years and have always found them to be excellent performers. I also enjoy the other T's as well. I agree with Matt that the three T's are excellent performers. I also consider Castle Forbes to be among the best shaving creams on the market. To those who say they are too expensive, I say they are a great value because of their high quality, they last for a very long time.using only a small amount of product. In any event, this is about TOBS products which are excellent products that provides wonderful shaves complimented by fine masculine scents.
The top English quality shaving soap is 1912 by Wickham Soap Co.
Jermyn st is my fav TOBs and one of my fav scents. Performance is decent. It has the coconut oil so it froths up quick but keep lathering and ensure you use enough product. The old “almond size” recommendation isn’t enough product for me to get a thicker lather.
TOBS 💈💈 Top shelf all the way, great products. Been using for years and years, totally a go to for me.
Being frugal I purchase price point stuff. I am not a sent guy, soap that softens beard is what I seek.
Nice video Matt. I hope to have time to visit their store later this year on our guided tour in London. Have a great day. 👍💂♂
Love the tobacco, very masculine. The grapefruit smells good enough to eat, although I DO NOT recommend doing that lol
Awesome video!
Thanks Matt 🙏
I found Tobs scents quite nice but little thin lather. I am not using Tobs anymore. Proraso is better cream. Ymmv
