    Yes, Piccadilly Shaving Co. Sandalwood was my first ever shaving cream back in January 2016. It had no affiliation with TOBS back then other than the fact it smelt very similar to their sandalwood products (although I preferred the Piccadilly as it was decidedly stronger!) Great cream overall, strong scent and slick performance... No idea what its now doing on the TOBS website, perhaps they've bought them out?

    I also was fortunate enough to try No.50 on a recent sample pass around / PIF on another forum. It has a really boring scent (orange blossom mixed with a synthetic aquatic note) like a generic face cream, I found performance to be below par, worse than other TOBS creams in fact with a particularly bad (drying) post shave.

    Thanks for the input. Yea, I too assume that they bought out the Piccadilly company.
    I just bought the black tub of Jermy Street Collection for sensitive skin. Contains aloe vera, cocoa butter and allantoin. Let's see how it performs come Sunday.

    My dauther went to England last spring and bought me a tun of the TOBS # 50. I love the scent and great soap. Such a cool gift she bought me.
