desertcart.com: Truefitt & Hill 1805 Shave Cream Bowl for Men, Fresh Oceanic scent, 6.7 oz. : Beauty & Personal Care

Review: Incredible Shave. Pleasant lite scent. - As with all Truefitt & Hill products this is an excellent shaving cream. I was pleasantly surprised by the light refreshing scent of this cream. I usually stay away from the perfumed products and was a little hesitant with trying this scent, but after reading other reviews that commented on the light fresh scent I relented and decided to give it a whirl. As I work in a medical practice I do not like to wear heavy scents, this was not an issue with the 1805 fragrance. I found it to be light with a mild spice that leaves a pleasant undertone throughout the day, I would equate it to maybe a classic ocean faring scent, my wife says it smells more floral (I was unable to detect this floral aspect), and states that she does like the scent. The cream itself is excellent, as would be expected from this very reputable manufacturer. There were no disappointments to be found here. The cream is very luxuriant and incredibly slick and smooth, and I did get an incredibly close shave, that resulted in neither razor burn nor nicks. I will say that this is a premium shaving cream and probably does work better with a higher end badger brush, probably best badger at the least. I say this due to the fact that it worked best with slightly more water than I would use with a D R Harris or TOBs cream but closer to what I expect when using the G F trumper creams. I state this only because I know the difference I achieve in lather between my pure badger brushes and my silver tip brushes as the latter are able to retain much more water. I do not view this as a negative as this is a premium cream and thereby may be expected to work optimally with premium accessories (this is of course an assumption on my part). I will however test this cream with my pure badger brushes to confirm my speculation and will update this review If I find my that I am in error. (I apologize to any boar brush users as I am unable to test this, as I do not own one) UPDATE!!! I must admit that I was mistaken in my earlier conclusion about brushes. I used my least expensive pure badger His Tweezerman Deluxe Shaving Brush (my travel brush) thinking I would work up from here. The shaving cream lather was excellent, while it was slightly thicker than I prefer when using my silver tip brush, it still lathered excellently. I was concerned that it would not hold lather for all three of my passes and my final touch up pass, but the concern proved false as there was ample lather for the complete shave. I did add drips of water to base of brush through lathering process in order to thin a little as it did remain a bit thicker on the brush. I therefore must revise my earlier comment and say this is just an excellent cream regardless of the brush you are using. Although my personal preference would be that I like the consistency offered by a brush that retains a little more water. I shave with the same ritual daily, only substituting one item at a time when trying new products. 1. Homemade shave oil that I apply in the shower and allow to soak in to beard and skin. 2. Face wash with Musco Real Glycerin lime soap. After showering. 3. Taylor of Old Bond Street Herbal Pre-shave Gel 4. Truefitt & Hill 1805 Shave Cream Jar 5. Applied with Kent Brushes Shaving Brush Large Size (BK8) 6. Edwin Jagger De89bl Double Edge Safety Razor Chrome Plated with Feather Hi-Stainless Platimum Double Edge Razor Blades 100 Ct 7. Hot then cold water wash then alum applied. RazoRock Alum Block (Clean and replace shaving gear while this is allowed to sit on face, followed by cold water rinse.) 8. Geo F. Trumper's Limes Skin Food, 200ml Applied to towel dried skin and not diluted with water. Two drops is sufficient to cover entire face and neck. I allow this to soak in while I brush teeth. 9. Aftershave by Feather (unscented during work days) non work days Castle Forbes Lime Oil Aftershave Balm Again applied to dried skin.
Review: Luxury Cream Fit for Royalty - I can see why generations of English Royalty and dignitaries prefer this brand. This is truly a luxurious shaving cream fit for a King. Did you know that they found a tub of Truefitt & Hill shaving cream in the ruins of the Titanic? It's true. Look on Truefitt's website. Before I used any Truefitt & Hill product, I was kind of skeptical because I previously used The Art of Shaving creams. Don't get me wrong, The Art of Shaving does a great job of making an excellent cream. But I must say, you really get what you pay for. If I had to rate this cream, I would say it is ten steps above The Art of Shaving's products. And the tub seems to last forever. I am addicted to the way Truefitt's 1805 smells! It awakens your senses in the morning. It is a true pleasure to shave in the morning. As far as lather, this cream creates a thick and fluffy whipped up concoction that leaves your skin smooth and smelling great. I thought the fragrance would irritate my skin. It didn't at all. You may want to try a Truefitt sample pack. You can purchase it by going directly on their website so that you can sample all of their creams and fragrances. You could use Truefitt's pre-shave oil, but, you may be able to get away with not using it since this is a very moisturizing cream. The best way I could describe the smell is oceanic and masculine. After I'm done with my three shave passes, I apply Truefitt & Hill 1805 Aftershave Balm and then Trufitt & Hill 1805 Cologne . If you're new to double edged shaving, you may want to pay attention to some other items in my shave rotation. Keep in mind these are all suitable for sensitive skin: Merkur Progress Long-Handle Adjustable Safety Razor #510 Geo F. Trumper Coconut Oil Soft Shaving Cream 75 g cream 100 Astra Superior Premium Platinum Double Edge Safety Razor Blades Truefitt & Hill Ultimate Comfort Pre-Shave Oil (Large - 4 oz.) 100% Silvertip Badger Bristle Shaving Brush with Faux Petrified Wood Handle & Free Brush Stand from Parker Safety Razor Castle Forbes Lime Oil Shaving Cream Castle Forbes Lime Oil Aftershave Balm Avocado Shaving Cream 5.3oz shaving cream by Taylor of Old Bond Street Truefitt & Hill Rose Shaving Cream Travel Tube Truefitt & Hill Lavender Shaving Cream If you don't have any Truefitt & Hill shaving cream in your shave rotation (especially 1805), then pick it up immediately! There's a reason why the company is still around since 1805. They have to be doing something good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A true classic shave cream.
*by M***J on August 24, 2025*

I returned to traditional wet shaving 15 years ago and since then I have tried multiple shave creams. This became one of my favorites and it hasn’t changed over the years. It’s a classic masculine scent that’s not overpowering but has a definite presence. Just a small amount the size of an almond applied with a shaving brush is enough. It provides a slick cushion for shaving unlike any canned product.
