Excellent cream - cannot fault T&H quality., 13 April 2013

Everybody knows T&H are one of the leaders in quality shaving products so the actual cream itself needs no introduction. It is a light cream (typical of the top brands) that whips up easily (especially good for those in hard water areas). It doesn't dry the skin. An almond size 'serving' whips up enough thick lather for 3 or 4 passes so a pot lasts for months even with a daily shave.The scent is what differentiates these great creams. The 1805 fragrance is hard to describe (recommend some samples from T&H). The cream is fragranced very close to the cologne, which is unlike many of the barbershop brands who fragrance their creams in a more subtle way. The scent from the 1805 cream is powerful, almost overpowering but delightful if you enjoy the scent. A real treat for an enjoyable shave.

Fantastic Smell, 6 Jun. 2014

This looks expensive but isn't so bad as you only need a hazelnut sized blob for a four pass wet shave. It has a very classy scent which is hard to describe but has a whiff of open ocean about it and it lasts all day. Very good razor glide and very protective. Good enough for the Duke of Edinburgh, good enough for me !

Very classy and expensive smelling. The scent lingers all day. Razor glide and comfort is excellent and a pea sized amount will give you a three pass shave easily.For the perfect shave - Vintage Gillette 1959 Fat Boy Adjustable Razor, Gillette Silver Blue DE blade,1805 Cream, Simpsons Duke Best Badger brush.
