Taylor Of Old Bond Street

I went into the store near closing time and they mentioned to me that I only had a couple of mins. Which was no problem since I knew exactly what I needed to pick up for my husband and as I reached for the 3^rd item which was no longer than 1 min after entering the store a man comes from the back and yells across the little store ‘EXCUSE ME! We are CLOSED! You’ll have to pay for those right now or come back tomorrow!’ I was done anyways so I proceeded to check out but I wish I just dropped everything and left because that was the most rude service I have every received.

This is an absolute wonderland! Taylor stock everything, not just their own range but so many other esteemed manufacturers of wet shave products. If you’ve been dying to get that Dovo cut-​throat razor, you can be sure to find it on one of the shelves at TOBS!
There is a huge selection of brushes, Taylor as well as Simpson, in all sizes, qualities and finishes to suit all budgets.
Taylor also produce, in my opinion, the best value shaving cream of the established London barbers (others being Truefitt & Hill, Geo. F. Trumper, D. R Harris.) Their shaving cream range is very well suited to wet shave beginners as it lathers up with little effort and is very easy on the skin.
Beware their openings hours though. This is upscale St James after all so stores like this do not open beyond 5pm and stay closed on Sundays.
Keep an eye out for some worthwhile deals on their website!

We have travelled to the St. James’s area for almost 40 years and have frequently stopped in Taylor of Old Bond Street. On our recent trip my father and I FINALLY had shaves in the back of the store with Jermyn Street Barbers. Neil and Nazim were FANTASTIC … it was quintessential London and a memorable experience.

I have used their products for many years now (going on almost 5 years) and have tried many of their different shaving creams and after shaves. Almost immediately after walking into their store, I felt like a kid in a candy shop… there are some many things to look at and touch! So many products, so little time to try them all.
the advantage to coming to the store is you can actually smell and try many of the products you only read about. I can’t wait to go back.
On top of all of this, the in-​house barbers take great care of their patrons. On a whim, I got one of the best (if not, the best) shave of my life. The barber was ot only great but really funny.

This is a truly fantastic store with an excellent selection of products and friendly, helpful staff. If you shave, you need the sort of quality products sold here. Lathering with a selected shaving cream or soap and a proper brush makes the daily task of shaving more treat than drudgery. Being able to select from multiple finely scented creams (including a superb, completely unscented choice) takes you far away from the chemical treatment of drug store aerosols, and a quality brush creates a foam whose quality can’t be matched from a can. The store’s selection of razors and other grooming items (combs, brushes, nail clippers, etc.) is just as fine, and will provide you years of service. Shop for yourself, or better yet, set your shaving-​age adolescent on the right road. They’ll thank you for it years later.

Absolutely dorable place with some of the best hairdressers I’ve ever met!

Taylor of Old Bond Street –in fact located in Jermyn Street– is a great little shop stocking all you need for shaving and grooming. It is a slightly stuffy-​looking shops with wood-​panelled walls and completely stuffed with products, but you can be sure that they carry what you need.
If you are still going for the old-​fashioned shaving experience, you will find a variety of proper shaving brushes, and razors (worlds apart from the «modern» stuff you buy at your local drug store). They also stock a great choice of hair brushes (e.g. Mason Pearson).
A great shop for a the (potentially) old-​fashioned British gentleman — highly recommended !

We both had our Civil Partnership day early shave at Taylor — pre-​paid the two shaves in advance as time was precious (never a problem) — we arrived early and we were more than welcome — had our big day shave and were nicely pampered. The shave was perfect the staff took their time to give us the smoothest shave and it was.
Super Classic spot but with an air of ease — Of course this place will always remind us of our big day — products form the shop are absolutely superb — Shaving shop Cologne is a must have !!!

I have bought my shaving materials here for over 40 years — and my father before me. Their heavy Solingen razor and a fine badger brush have been in constant use for almost as long. I gave similar sets to my two sons when they reached shaving age, but they’ve both gone electric, the pikers!
The quintesssential shaving cream is their Sandalwood cream, which comes both in wooden or screw-​top plastic bowls, or even tubes for travelling, and has a beautiful scent that fills the bathroom.
The service is — or was — old-​fashioned courtesy, with a kind enquiry after my father’s health until that became superfluous. A gem of a shop!

Alter Parfüm-​Laden!

Oh Mann ich liebe diesen Laden. Tausende von Accessoires für die Pflege des Mannes in klassischem britischen Stil. Ich habe beschlossen von nun an nur noch Produkte von Taylors fürs Rasieren zu benutzen. (Irgendeinen Spleen muss man sich ja leisten, oder). Auch wenn mich manchmal das Gefühl beschleicht, hier sei einiges für die Galerie oder für die Touristen platziert, es ist einfach, schön in den Kämmen, Rasierseifen, Messern, etc zu stöbern.
Man hat mir dann auch eine Adresse in Solingen genannt (wo denn sonst), über die der Vertrieb in Deutschland organisiert ist. Den werde ich bestimmt in Anspruch nehmen.
Und irgendwann werde ich mir dort auch einmal die Haare schneiden lassen, ganz bestimmt.

excellent service i had my haircut by niel he is excellent

I had my haircut here years ago but I alsways make a pilgrimage to Taylors whenever I’m in London for shaving soap and aftershave. A spledidly luxurious place with lots of pleasantly scented unguents and salves to beautify the man. Immaculate service, not too snooty but classy too, not quite as devastatingly expensive as you might think.

Stuck for a present for a man who is impossible to buy for? Looking for a very individual gift that won’t blow the bank?
Then try a visit to Taylor’s.
Actually located in Jermyn Street, this long-​established (1854) family business situated in a tiny shop, is both a hairdresser and barber for men, and sells an extensive and very traditional range of men’s grooming products.
These include an enormous range of shaving brushes, and soaps, shaving oils, hair-​tonics and after-​shaves in long-​established, traditional fragrances. Made using the finest pure ingredients, the emphasis is on discreet, uncomplicated, masculine aromas — think sandlewood and citrus — at very reasonable prices.
The shaving brushes in particular make lovely gifts, starting at the porcelain-​handled versions from £35, up to silver-​handled brushes, complete with stand, from £130.
They have an extensive on-​line shop, but a visit to the shop is an experience in itself — and for the men, why not go the whole hog and indulge yourself in a shave?
