Review (5/5): unbelievable price
Got this kit on sale for under $20, which is an absolute steal! I guess TOBS discontinued the scent, so the supplier was clearing out inventory.
It's a cologne-type scent with a modern vibe. The shave cream performs like other TOBS shave creams, which is a good thing. Easy to build a lather, reasonably slick and protective. The cream is harder than other TOBS creams I've used, but that doesn't affect performance in the least.
The kit also comes with a badger brush and a cologne. The brush is actually pretty good! It's black badger hair, so the bristles are relatively stiff/scritchy, but I prefer that. Had the typical badger funk for the first few shaves, but now it's neutral. No lost bristles yet, so it seems like a quality brush/knot.
The cologne is also nice, a matching scent to the shave cream. I find that it lasts 2-3 hours on my skin. It's a good office/professional scent: pleasant, inoffensive. Probably not going to turn any heads.
No matter how you slice it, $20 for this kit is a great value!
