5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value and pleasureable scent *a must buy for a wet shave*, November 17, 2005

I recently started wet shaving (within the last two months) and have come to regard shaving as something I look forward to now. I use a Merkur Futura double-edged razor and have bought an assortment of different shaving creams to try, including Prorasso (italian eucalyptus stuff), Taylor of Bond Street (avocado) and the Truefitt & Hill Traflagar. My top choice is the Trufitt & Hill hands down.

While many people might see the $22 as expensive, most people need to realize that a very little goes a long way. This is not like the Edge Gel or Barbasol that you learned to shave with. This just requires a dab on the wet brush (a real badger hair brush) and a swirl in a small bowl sitting in a a bit of hot drawn water to create a warm and thick lather that will make you enjoy shaving again. I would estimate this jar will last about 6 months.

In looking at the cost of my new shave method (52 blades a year ($0.50 each), two jars of shaving cream a year ($22 each) comes to about $70 a year. Compare this to a blade every other week and a can of alcohol-based shave gel (which dries your skin) every other month for a cost of $60. Ten bucks more a year buys a much better shave.

I've noticed that my shaves take a bit longer, but my skin has cleared up of many of the bumps that I used to have. I also no longer have a 5 o'clock shadow at 3 in the afternoon. Best of all the shave is the closest thing I've ever had to the shave I got from a barber in Florence, Italy using a steady hand and a scary looking straight blade.

This is the best bet for a shave cream !

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Cream for a Great Shave, February 8, 2006

I have been using soaps and creams for a few months now. I started to use soaps and creams mainly because they provide better value for the money and they help my sensitive skin.

I have always had sensitive skin and shaving never helped. I recently came across Truefitt & Hill Trafalgar and figured that if it was good enough for royalty, then I should give it a try. I can definitely see why this is the official royal shaving cream. It wasn't until I tried this cream and combined it with a Merkur Futur double-edged razor and badger brush that I knew what it was to have a close shave with no razor burn.

Like the previous reviewer said, most people need to realize that very little goes a long way. With just a small dab on a wet badger brush you will be able to create a warm and thick lather that will make you love shaving.

Shaving the old fashioned way will take a bit longer, but it will feel luxurious and the results are much better than anything you can get with a Mach 3 and a can of gel. I can finally go a whole day without shaving. If I go two days, I have a nice 5 o'clock shadow around 8.

This is the best bet for a shave cream. It smells very good and provides more than enough lubrication for a razor to simply glide over. A badger brush is a must though. Truefitt & Hill Trafalgar is simply fantastic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent shaving cream for sensitive skin, May 1, 2007

This review is from: Truefitt & Hill Trafalgar Shaving Cream Jar (Health and Beauty)

My first experience with Trafalgar shaving cream was right after my girlfriend returned from a trip to London. While there, she visited the Truefitt & Hill barber shop and purchased the Trafalgar shaving cream for me as a souvenir. Since then, I've been hooked.

This is, by far, the best shaving cream I've ever used. The scent is masculine, but not too over-powering or musky. The lather is thick, rich and moisturizing. Although it is quite pricey, I've found that a little really goes a long way. I only need to shave about 3 or 4 times per week (I'm a slow grower), but a jar of Trafalgar cream usually lasts me around 7 months. Just use it sparingly and you'll be fine.

When I first started using Trafalgar I didn't use a brush. However, I found that using a brush allows me to use less shaving cream. So a brush is definitely worth the cost.
