FAQs
How do you lather Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving cream?
To lather Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving cream effectively, you'll need a shaving brush and a small amount of warm water. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:
- Wet Your Brush: Soak your shaving brush in warm water for a minute to soften the bristles. This helps the brush to create a rich lather.
- Shake Off Excess Water: Shake out any excess water from the brush. You want it damp, not dripping wet.
- Scoop or Swirl: If using a tub, swirl the damp brush over the surface of the shaving cream to gather a small amount. If using a cream from a tube, squeeze a dollop about the size of an almond onto the brush or into a shaving bowl.
- Build the Lather: Use circular motions on your face or in a shaving bowl to whip up the cream into a rich lather. Add a few drops of water to the brush if the lather seems too thick, continuing until you achieve a creamy consistency.
- Apply to Face: Apply the lather to your face using the brush, covering the area to be shaved in a thick layer of cream to soften the hair and protect your skin.
How long does a tub of tobs last?
The lifespan of a tub of Taylor of Old Bond Street (TOBS) shaving cream largely depends on personal shaving habits, including how much cream is used per shave, how often you shave, and the lathering technique employed.
On average, a 150g tub can last from 3 to 6 months with daily use, assuming moderate cream use for each shave. This estimate can vary based on individual routines and preferences.
Those who shave less often or use the cream sparingly may find their tub lasts longer than six months, while users with a preference for thicker lather might need a new tub sooner.
Are you supposed to mix shaving cream with water?
Yes, you are supposed to mix shaving cream with water, albeit in a controlled manner. The water helps to hydrate the shaving cream, making it easier to whip up into a protective and moisturizing lather.
The key is to find the right balance; too little water and the lather will be thick and dry, making it difficult to shave, while too much water can make the lather too thin and reduce its protective qualities.
