Review on 🌲 Cedarwood Shaving Cream by Taylor of Old Bond, 0.33 lb. by Rusty Lyons

Revainrating 5 out of 5

ATTENTION! Illegal products from TOOBS!

Summary: This is a simplified version of the original product. This seller (Taylor from Old Bond) is a fake. Original: Taylor from Old Bond Street. I have already ordered twice from this seller hoping that my first order was just a fluke. After reading all the reviews from people interested in consistency, I see that I'm not alone. The actual product of TOOBS is a very thick cream. You can put it upside down in a canister for hours and not move at all. I actually do it with a real product. However, this fake cannot tilt even 10 degrees without shifting in the bowl. It's pretty clear to anyone who has seen the real product that it was taken out of the container, diluted and then put back on sale at the regular price. i have bowls It was obviously flooded, briefly mopped and resealed. The bowl smells strongly of cream. The original product seals well and has no smell at all until opened. The kit also includes a piece of tape to secure the lid. I suspect it's due to the spilled cream which caused the lid to be lost in transit. Actually, the product comes without tape and the lid closes tightly even without it. Finally, the cream itself looks like it was whipped in a hurry. Added water and air blown into the product not only change its thickness. This gives the cream a pearlescent appearance rather than the solid white color it should be. Speaking of consistency, many say it should be thicker than whipped cream. This is an understatement. In fact, the product is almost as thick as coconut oil at room temperature. In fact, I daresay it would be closer to peanut butter. When using this product, I barely have to touch the top of the cream with my brush to apply it. This fake requires the brush to be submerged a good inch or two to get enough product. Now I have saved my containers. This is almost entirely because I've already passed the return window. I despise people who do this because there is no other way than bad reviews to know in advance that you are getting a lighter version. But even diluted with water, the product retains the same properties and amazing smell as the original (a little less water is needed). Since the alternative is losing my money, I try to make the best of it. Please do not patronize this seller to ensure you receive legitimate products!

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
