Reviews of Shaving Shop
by Taylor of Old Bond Street

At the moment, Taylor of Old Bond Street's Shaving Shop (cologne or aftershave) is my daily scent. It's brilliant.
I read what the other people posted here and, yes, there is something very special about this scent.
There isn't a day goes by that someone doesn't say "You smell so good."
It's cheapish ($35 for aftershave), too.
I can't say the same for Taylor's other scents. Some are atrocious.

This is nice..... very nice in fact. Starts with a bit of a zesty punch, I smell grapefruit and lime which calms down to a nice mild woody tone, with, as Amberflash said, an undercurrent of shaving cream, which is no surprise as Taylors also use this frag in a shave cream. To me, this is a country mile better than most of the other Taylors colognes. The Eton cologne reminds me of le male by JPG but for those who are over privileged and the Sandalwood, although a good sandalwood, is very very old fashioned and smells like your great grannys bedroom.

This frag would suit most ages however I wouldn't suggest it to anyone under 25.

If you get a chance to try this on then try it, it initially turned my nose upon smelling it from the bottle but once on its a dream and nowhere near as "cosmetic" as most male frags are these days.

The only real downsides for this frag are that it's not for "boys" (that could be a good thing), and, I feel it doesn't last as long due to the fact it is only available as an aftershave or cologne, however my girlfriend would say otherwise and she loves it.

Aw hell come on it's onlt £17 for a 100ml bottle, splash it on and feel like a gent.

It's what I was looking to shake off the staleness of commercial frags.

There's something special about this scent. It does smell woody and handsome and vibrantly dry... but I'll be darned if there isn't the whipped foam of a fine shaving cream soaping away in there as well. Not that this is a soapy fragrance, per se, but it is a perfect perfumed poem of its namesake. My boyfriend wears it and I go crazy... yum!
