The Truefitt & Hill 1805 shaving cream is based on a classic shaving cream formulation made from saponified fatty acids, moisturizers, and fragrances that together create a stable, creamy shaving foam.

According to the INCI, the base consists of Aqua (Water), Stearic Acid, and Myristic Acid. These fatty acids are crucial for foam formation and ensure that when whipped with a shaving brush, a dense, stable foam is produced. Potassium Hydroxide and Sodium Hydroxide are used to saponify these fatty acids – this gives the cream its typical texture and provides the foam with good glide for shaving.

Glycerin acts as a moisturizer and helps keep the skin supple during shaving. Coconut Acid additionally supports foam formation and improves the foam’s glide properties.

For the characteristic 1805 scent, the cream contains Parfum (Fragrance) as well as declarable fragrance ingredients such as Limonene, Linalool, and Citral, which contribute to the fresh, maritime scent profile. The shelf life of the shaving cream is ensured by Methylparaben and Propylparaben as preservatives.

Overall, this results in a classic, glycerin-based shaving cream that produces a rich foam when whipped with water and pleasantly prepares the skin during shaving.

A cherry pit-sized amount is enough. With a little water and your shaving brush, a creamy, stable foam quickly forms.

Your skin feels smooth, cared for, and soothed – without tightness or irritation. The foam retains moisture, even when you shave slowly.

Yes, the cream is specially developed for sensitive skin. The glycerin and natural ingredients have a soothing and protective effect – ideal if you tend to razor burn.
