Product Information

And of course, making your own cosmetic products can be fun, and make excellent presents for the people in your life. Substitute for shaving cream I like TOBS Sandalwood very much and I discovered it because of this blog. That said, I like the peppermint and grapefruit a little more, because the fragrances are a little stronger. I find the lathering properties equal among the three, as for me the biggest variable has been just how much I load up my brush with product and how much water I add to the scuttle. I’m not a machine; variability exists.

Geo. F. Trumper’s world famous glycerine based shaving cream with an intoxicating sandalwood fragrance. Don’t let that deter you from trying this out though, as you can get the full Sandalwood Collection from AOS. They offer Pre-Shave Oil, Shaving Cream, and After-Shave Balm. While it is a bit more pricey than some of the other products we mentioned, it still is a solid performing product.Additionally, by making your own shaving cream, you can fit it precisely to your taste, and choose ingredients you love. It's made from 100% natural, vegetable based products including Icelandic Lichen which is known for its natural antibiotic properties. This obviously means you can’t load your brush directly from the container. But as long as that is not a deal breaker, it should not be an issue. Although classed as a shaving cream, the consistency is a cross between a soft cream and a hard soap, similar to putty. The cream is off-white in colour in the jar and you will see some colour variations, don't worry this is down to the all-natural ingredients used. When lathered the cream is white.

Because of this, there is not a common Sandalwood scent among products.Essential oils are your best bet to provide fragrance, but they are also very good at protecting your skin, thanks to anti-aging or soothing properties.

The most iconic scent in shaving cream is Sandalwood. Our goal is to provide information on the best Sandalwood shaving creams and soaps on the market. This article covers both soaps and creams, and we have included large commercial brands to small artisan brands. The great thing is that there are many recipes available, so you can give plenty of different options a try before settling on your favourite. I’ve tried the TOBS Sandalwood in the tub and in the tube. I found the fragrance to be pleasant but not noteworthy. More important to me is performance which I have found to be “meh” in terms of glide, cushioning, blah, blah, blah. I found it to be not the equivalent of its more expensive brethren and not even superior to some of its less expensive kid brethren such as Tabac and La Toja. Would I use it if I were on a desert island with nothing else and wanted to shave in anticipation of being rescued by the Kardashians? Sure.This all-natural shaving cream recipe by Puddles and Pine is perfect in its simplicity. All the ingredients are vegan and literally grow on trees. The additional whipped creamy nature gives it a sense of luxury that we all need at times. I mentioned earlier that the “Sandalwood” scent can be difficult to pin down, as there are a number of different scent profiles, both natural and artificial, claiming to be “Sandalwood.” But I think the TOBS version comes admirably close to the “classic Sandalwood” fragrance, often described as woody with additional modifying terms like creamy, milky, warm, soft, and rich. I like to use the word “mellow” myself. I’m not usually a big fan of these types of woody fragrances but the TOBS Sandalwood scent has grown on me through the years and I particularly like it in the cold Winter months. Whether you’re making a gift for a friend or family member or just fancying making something specifically for you, homemade shaving cream can be a great option. Due to the expense of Sandalwood Essential Oil, most products use synthetic fragrance, and it is hard to find a true scent out there. It’s not the best performing product, but it still performs well, and it will be be fine for the majority of wet shavers. For those looking for superior performance, we would recommend the Proraso or TOBS.
