Now I know what all the fuss is about with the "old formula" Taylor's creams. If the "good old days" of Taylor's was like this Rose sample, they were indeed wonderful days. Rich, velvety lather that smelled incredible and performed like a dream. And I'm getting better with the straights!!!

 

My error. It's out of Honk Kong, but I can give you the eBay link if you would like.

The Vulfix Sandalwood is a great cream. Excellent scent as I built the lather, during the shave and even still after the shave. The lather was creamy and slick. Now I want to try their Lavender. Thanks to Mike for the sample.

Glad you liked it Raf. Lavender and Lime are both on the next to buy list. I'm really sold on that cream for the price.
