Taylor of Old Bond Street Peppermint Shave Cream 5.3 oz — brush-applied, glycerin-rich lather for cooling, comfortable wet shaves

Taylor of Old Bond Street Peppermint Shave Cream is a glycerin-rich, brush-applied shaving cream that creates a cooling, fragrant lather for a precise, comfortable wet shave.

Blending peppermint oil with a traditional bowl formula, this 5.3 oz (150 g) cream is designed for wet-shave enthusiasts who prefer to build a dense lather with a shaving brush. It combines stearic and myristic acids with glycerin to produce a cushiony foam that helps the razor glide while leaving skin feeling smooth. The peppermint scent gives a crisp, invigorating aroma without overpowering, and the cream’s texture performs consistently when worked with warm water.

How does this shave cream deliver a comfortable shave?

The cream transforms into a thick, protective lather when worked with warm water and a shaving brush, creating slip and cushioning for controlled razor strokes. Glycerin helps retain skin moisture during the shave so skin feels softer after rinsing.

• Works with a wet brush to build rich foam for razor glide
• Stearic and myristic acids provide stability and cushion
• Glycerin helps preserve hydration through the shave
• Rinses clean with no greasy residue

What should I expect from the peppermint scent and feel?

Peppermint oil provides a fresh, bright aroma that lifts the routine without being medicinal. The cooling scent pairs with a refreshing sensation on the skin, creating an invigorating experience that suits morning shaves and wake-up routines.

• Peppermint oil delivers a crisp, aromatic top note
• Fragrance is noticeable but not overpowering
• Compliments other grooming steps like aftershave or balm
• Suitable for those who prefer menthol-adjacent freshness

How do I use the bowl formula for best results?

Wet a shaving brush with warm water, then load a small amount of cream from the bowl. Work the brush in circular motions over the beard area until a smooth, even lather forms; apply multiple loads for thicker foam or longer shaves.

• Use warm water to open hair and skin pores
• Load the brush lightly for everyday shaves, heavier for dense beards
• Apply with circular strokes to lift and coat hairs
• No plastic inner cap is included; surface irregularities are cosmetic only

Is this product suitable for sensitive or dry skin types?

The formula contains moisturizing glycerin and rinses clean, which helps reduce tightness after shaving. However, it also includes fragrance and preservatives, so those with very reactive skin should patch-test first or consult ingredient details before regular use.

• Glycerin supports skin hydration during shaving
• Rinses off without leaving a greasy film
• Contains peppermint oil and fragrance — patch-test if sensitive
• Preservatives included; review ingredients if prone to reactions
