Truefitt & Hill Cream + Balm Longevity

[Hugh Jorgan]

After many samples of soap, cream, and aftershave, I've managed to convince myself that Truefitt & Hill Trafalgar shaving cream & after shave balm are for me. They are stellar in both scent and performance, which has been a truly difficult combo to find. I'm not a cologne guy, but I wanted to find a scented cream + after shave combo that lingers for a while to provide a subtle signature scent for me. That being said, T&H products are on the pricier side and I want to know how long I should expect them to last. So, here's my question to those of you who use T&H cream & balm: Shaving *nearly* every day, how long should I expect both the cream (tub not tube) and the balm to last?

Thanks in advance to all of you...I appreciate your willingness to share.

YMMV based on how much of the products you use. I tend to use as little as possible in order to make my products last as long a possible. If you are more liberal with your application then your stuff will not last as long. Good luck.

When I was looking at buying the new coats sc that was just released I saw an line on their site stating that the tub lasts "about 100 shaves" for a 165mg tub. So with that math, if you order a new tub from T&H (which is 190mg), it should last you roughly 115 shaves. In my experiences, they under estimated the 'average' amount of cream used per shave but YMMV. All though, I do generally make enough lather for a 4 pass shave. Could get more, could get less.

Thanks for the input. Does anyone have any idea how long the after shave balm should last?

Should last at least as long. I have used grafton balm about every other day for the last 2 months and have used less than 15%. All you need is about 2 squirts (on damp hands with a damp face) with a normal shave. If you have a particularly rough shave you might need a little more. But as always, YMMV!
