Superb cream that leaves the skin feeling fantastic. As already mentioned the fragrance of the almond is strong and much like Marzipan. The lather is thick and creamy and means a very good shave.
This is an excellent product that i would highly recommend, have already paid for much more expensive creams an always revert to the Taylors brand - absolute quality

The Almond scent can be a bit overpowering when in the pot, as a good whiff of Marzipan can make you feel sick as so strong.
However when lathered up i can barley smell it.
I find this lathers up better when applied to facial hair by using your fingers rather than a brush.
By brush im unable to get ant decent lather with this.
They have an extensive range and im sure there will be a fragrance for everyone in the range.

If you like almond then this is one to go for. It has a beautiful almond scent that reminds me of the bakewell tarts my mother used to make when I was a boy! As with all Taylor creams, the lather produced is second to none.

Warning, DO NOT EAT. I love marzipan & this smell exactly like it. What a fantastic aroma. Mr taylor is a genius. First he creates a shaving cream that is rich & velvety beyond belief, then he gives you one othe best aromas on the planet. Stop reading this & get yourself a tub right now! Ps. If you have small children, be carefull where you leave this because they may just scoff the lot, it really does smell so good.

Lovely cream, smells just like marzipan and feels very good on the skin. Whipped up into a thick lather it produces, it enables a razor to glide easily and harmlessly (as long as you use it correctly, of course) across the skin.
It also provides some nice skin conditioning properties, and for my sensitive skin it was perfect.
Don't be fooled by the tub not looking expensive because the product certainly surpasses any prior doubts, and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Out of the selection of high-end creams available I believe Taylor's offer the best value-to-performance ratio. There are other creams twice the price that I'd be hard-pressed to recommend over them. After my brush has been soaking I shake out excess water, put a dab of cream inside and work the brush on my face until a slick, creamy lather forms. I consistently great lathers and great shaves this way and this cream never lets me down. The scent is a delicious marzipan which smells strong in the tub but doesn't linger for long, so it won't clash if you like to finish your shave with a cologne or aftershave. Packaging is a sturdy plastic tub, perhaps not the prettiest, but it's the top-notch product inside that'll keep me coming back.

It 's the first cream that I bought after years of aerosol cans of any kind. I must say that the product is good, easy to assemble with the brush. The scent does not affect much.

This luxury cream certainly gives you the feel good factor, great marzipan smell, lathers generously and instantly even in hard water. I think this is slicker and slightly more oiler than TOBS sandalwood, perhaps it is the almond oil. Very kind to the skin and my current favourite.

I preferred this scent to the others, it's absolutely lovely. You actually need less than some YouTube videos show so it'll easily last a very long time proving excellent value for money. So comfortable and luxurious to use, I look forward to (and enjoy) my shaves now. Can't recommend enough.

Smell like you've triped over and landed head first in the worlds best smelling Bakewell tart!! Love it! It lathers up really easily, you just need at have the smallest amount on your brush to get enough for a 3 pass shave. Great product and service from the shave shack. Can't fault either.
