Customer Review: True Luxury
THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE “1805″ VERSION but probably applies to all.
Truefitt and Hill have been making shaving cream since 1805 and this is one of their core products. They are justly proud of it, to the point of naming it “1805″.
This is an amazingly effective shave cream. It does all the things the best quality creams do and does them well: softens the beard, lubricates and conditions the skin.
The best way to apply this cream is with a brush. A small scoop of the cream, about what you get from wiping the end of one finger into the cream, will result in a huge mass of rich velvety meringue-like lather. Stick that little dollop onto a wet brush, use the brush to work up a good lather in a shaving mug or bowl then apply the resulting lather to your beard. (Some men prefer to work up the lather right on the beard and skip the mug or bowl.) Considering how little is needed, the price is less than it first appears.
The scent of 1805 is very elegant. It is reserved and understated. It is the fresh scent of sea air. You will feel like royalty when you use it. As a matter of fact, quoting the Trueffit and Hill web page: “Trueffit and Hill has had the distinction of serving as barbers and Royal Warrant holders to H.R.H., The Duke of Edinburgh and other members of The Royal Family for the past nine reigns.”
Now I am not one to go around “tarted up” with a lot of scented toiletries so the subtlety of this fragrance is just right for me.
Highly recommended. I doubt I will have the patience to wait for it to run out before trying one of their other scents.
Customer Review: Perfect soap and fragrance
Truefitt & Hill is a gentleman’s grooming company established in 1805. To commemorate Lord Nelson’s victory in battle Truefitt & Hill named one of their top fragrances for this occasion. This being Trafalgar.
I mainly use the replacement soap that Truefitt & Hill sell for my wooden soap bowl I bought from them; however, when traveling this makes it rather awkward.
Truefitt & Hill knows men are on the go, but still enjoy a great shave, so have created these wonderful soap jars to take with you on travel.
As with the brick soap, these soap jars last a very long time; as you only need a small amount for a good thick lather, with a distinguishing scent that is rather haunting, and not overly strong. One jar of Truefitt & Hill shave soap, much like the brick soap by Truefitt & Hill lasts about as long as approx 8 or so aerosol cans of shave cream. I can judge this as my roommate uses aerosol shaving cream. Plus aerosol cans use a numbing agent which harm the skin later throughout the day unlike brick or jar soap by Truefitt & Hill. So its actually cheaper, smells better, better quality shave, and lasts longer.
I prefer the Truefitt & Hill Trafalgar scent, however, all the scents by Truefitt & Hill are very good. It is just a matter of taste and preference of what one enjoyes.
Trafalgar is a subtle, haunting rich scent of sandlewood, lavender,jasmine and other spices; blended nicely to be very appealing, but not over powering. Basically, just authorative and confident. One can honestly see why Truefitt & Hill named this fragrance after the Battle that Lord Nelson led England into victory.
Also note, with the jar creams by Truefitt & Hill a shave brush is not needed although I still use mine when I need to travel and take my jar with me. You can easily use your finger tips, about the size of a US quarter ‘or less’ to massage on the face usually does the trick. With a true ‘real quality’ shave soap you don’t need much, nor a huge lather either.
The shave will make you almost become impatient for the next day as so you can shave again. The day is long and hard on every man, so why not give yourself something to start the day off with right? Something that also has a long history behind it as well.
A last piece of information: I always purchase my Truefitt & Hill through [...] from The Grooming Lounge and will remain doing so. As I find The Grooming Lounge to be very fast with deliveries, plus packaging is beyond words by them. A good shaving is priceless; but a great seller who takes care of your shaving needs is also just as priceless. Please check out The Grooming Lounge here on amazon.com to see a huge selection of other quality grooming needs, including their selection of other Truefitt & Hill products.
Enjoy!
