What shave cream gets your vote as the best Truefitt & Hill shave cream?

**kingfisher** · 10-06-2009, 09:09 AM

I like West Indian Limes.

Ultimate Comfort is pretty nice, too.

Not a huge fan of Truefitt & Hill but scent wise, West Indian Limes hands down.

+1 for the entire UC line.

I also have the T&H Luxury Shave Soap in wooden bowl ... I love the old-timey barbershop smell, lathers great, gives a great shave, but it reminds me too much of Williams Mug Soap, which looks, feels, and smells almost the same, and accomplishes the same thing for 98% less money.

Out of the sample pack IMHO West Indian Limes produced the most consistent, cushioning and all round pleasurable lather. The Avocado (TOBS) of the T&F line?

I suggest that you buy the T&H sampler. Everyones opinion is different. I like Grafton and 1805.

**infotech** · 10-06-2009, 09:34 AM

1805.

I actually ordered it just yesterday. I'm told it could arrive as early as today.

Grafton is by far my favorite.

**Scotchd** · 10-06-2009, 10:21 AM

I like the ultimate comfort, which actually has a fairly strong Lavender scent, and the 1805.

**BigRich** · 10-06-2009, 10:30 AM

Performance wise I've never been disappointed with any of them. It really comes down to which scent you like. I would suggest ordering a sample pack from T&H.

My personal favorite is Grafton.

+1

Although UC is touted as being unscented, the Lavender-ish aroma is hard to miss.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

For the money I find them just meh. I look at my options every morning and end up picking TOBS, Frasers, C & E Sweet Almond Oil, or Nancy Boy. I don't know, I love the smell of their limes but am usually disappointed with the shave.

I personally like the 1805 the best. As a bonus, it happens to work very well with my favorite cologne and aftershave, Armani Mania. Talk about a good scent. Its latherability is off the charts too.

**Blue-EyedSon** · 10-06-2009, 01:37 PM

I'm glad to read that you ordered the sample pack. That really is the best way to determine what would be best for you. In my experience with a sample pack from them, all the creams performed the same in terms of latherability, moisturizing abilities, slickness, thickness, etc. The biggest difference is scent. And on this, I think I like Grafton the best. Their lavender is fair, but too bitter smelling for me. Trafalgar was a close second. Almond is fine, but I like Trumper's better, although I couldn't tell you why. Limes was fair, but again, I like Trumpers better. 1805 was by far my least favorite. It smelled like I was walking by Ambercrombie and Fitch. For me, that's not a good thing, but as others have said, they love it. So, I suppose to each their own.
