    Oddly enough I like the Sandalwood taste. Lasts a while on the pallet.

    You need to try that organic TOBS. Let good ole Joe send you that email. I'm sure you'll love TOBS, and I bet there's a coupon involved!

    I got TOBS Sandalwood for my birthday It's excellent, not an overpowering scent, and leaves my skin very smooth. Does anyone know of a similar quality soap?

    I have TOBS Coconut, Mr Taylors, Lemon Lime & Eton College. All smell great but, Eaton College is my fav. So much so, I bought the matching aftershave. Mr Taylors is my runner up, more of an old world, aristocratic scent. They all create gobs of lather sooo easily. When I switch off using another brand, I am always amazed at all the lather and ease when I switch back to a TOBS. I also have a bunch of their samples. St James smells good, Jermyn Street smells great. Jermyn Street is at the top of my list of creams to buy next, along with Proraso Blu & Red. At half the price of other big T's, I can't justify spending more. However, I did buy samples of Trumpers & DR Harris but, haven't gotten to them yet.

    I have TOBS Coconut and have to say it smells an awful lot like actual coconut, while Trumper's is less sweet and with what seems to be other flavors going on and slightly on the medicinal side but, not in a bad way (I like it).

    I just ordered the TOBS Grapefruit as a substitute for a soap I bought last week that turned out to be back ordered.

    It is my first cream, I chose Grapefruit due to remembering a previous post by @RaZorBurn123 about it and he hasnt steered me wrong on a purchase yet.

    I received a tub of sandalwood from my secret Santa; first TOBS I've ever used. I think it's awesome! Smells terrific.

    TOBS is not that good for my dermatitis.
    But I loved the fragrance of some creams.
    For sure the Lavender.

    This one have been in my den in the last years ...

    Sandalwood is my second fav scent.
    Very nice from TOBS.
    But after I smelled Cyril R. Salter "Indian Sandalwood", all the others are just good to me.

    I have a number of TOBS shave creams and love most if not all of them. Here’s a list of TOBS creams I currently own.
    Platinum
    Sandalwood
    Mr Taylor’s
    Luxury/St James
    Tobacco Leaf
    Royal Forrest
    Eton College

    A quick question for those who own Platinum shave cream; is it just me or does the TOBS Platinum cream seem quite a bit more runny than other creams? In the tub it appears to be more like a thick liquid than a dense cream like the other creams. It still lathers but I’m just curious.

    I also have sevearal TOBS creams.

    Sandalwood
    Graprefruit
    Lemon & Lime
    Shave Shop
    Eton College
    Aloe Vera
    Almond

    I like most of them except the Lemon & Lime. It seems to be more finicky than the others when it comes to working up a good quality lather and I really don't like the scent of it. My favorites though are Eton College, Grapefruit and Almond.

    A quick heads up. West Coast Shaving has a 15% off all TOBS products on their website. I just bought Grapefruit, No. 50 & Rose shave creams.
