Thread: Ultimate Comfort Cream by Truefitt & Hill

So I just finished my 11 shave test of T&H UCS.
The only break was to test of some razors - I have been using MWF for the shave test out of habit.

I would recommend it for several reasons.
Not only does it perform, its easy to work with from the start.
Tuning the water ratio makes it only better - and you can lower the amount of product used per shave as you dial it in for your brush/face/style.

If you need a big scent hit this would not be one to go to - it seems to have a very mild and pleasant floral hint - if you are looking for that Tabac Pimp-Slap with your shave this would leave you wanting..

It gets a spot in the rotation...

Been going on maybe 1-2 months using this cream now... still my favorite. As MJC said, dialing in the water vs cream ratio is critical (and I add a few drops of glycerin). I was using too little water initially (although it was still working great). This will be the first soap/cream that I buy again after trying. Love this stuff.

Last night my wife needed to order 35 dollars on amazon to get Amazon "Prime" back (Diapers for two 18 month old twins is not cheap) and she asked me to spend it.




While it is not the same cream, I bought a tub of Truefitt & Hill 1805. If Obie would have just posted this last night.....haha.

The 1805 is superb...love the stuff, and the Trafalgar is equally fantastic....the Ultimate is OK IMO, but I'd take the 1805 or Trafalgar, you won't be disappointed with the 1805....to each their own though!

So the scented stuff works as well? Just not scented for sensitive skin?

I like the Grafton myself.

Haven't tried the Grafton yet, I'd expect it to be fantastic, as all their products seem to be.

The T&H performs superbly...note of caution though. If you're used to using a hard soap, remember all you need with this "cream" is a dip or two with the end of your brush and you should be good to go...if you swirl away like a hard soap, you'll load enough to shave for a month! Use very carefully...still to this day I tend to overload the brush when I use the T&H.

Looks like I need to try this stuff. I have T & H Trafalgar and it is nice

I just ordered another jar of this a few minutes ago! I LOVE this cream. I've tried a few now, and this one is way above and beyond anything else (soaps and creams) that I've tried.

This is a fantastic cream. I have it in the rotation. In terms of comfortable shaves I have some other nice soaps and creams but this is indeed ultimate comfort.

Not exactly the same really, but Millers Wool Fat soap is rather remarkable as well (contains lanolin). Very protective and very good for you skin. I backed off on the T&H Ultimate Comfort Cream because I'd like to pair it with some of their other products. I still like changing up the products but I could well understand getting hooked on this one.

Best,

Ed
