If memory serves me right...the Art of Shaving creams are simply Taylors with different labels and the price doubled. AOS stuff isn't bad, it's just EXPENSIVE. Look to other sources for quality stuff, it costs much less.

I was given a tub of the lavender cream that works with or without a brush for XMAS and I enjoyed it and yielded some rather nice shaves.

Been using T&H for a few years now and love it all. Found it better than Trumper which we used to carry in the store and found T&H to be better

FWIW, I had shunned AOS until the Amazon feeding frenzy of June '07, when they cut the prices in half and stocks depleted in around a day. I sprung for three tubs of their Lavender cream (plus free shipping!). At the price I could hardly resist. But $40+ for a hard soap is more than my pocketbook will bear under any circumstance.

Really, especially considering the BEST soaps you will ever find are off ebay from amateur soapers, no more than 5 bucks a piece per shaving puck no less.
