Be Truefitt To Yourself
With Father’s Day on the near horizon I’m sure some of you are already thinking about what to buy for dad. There are a few categories that are totally timeless – sports and BBQ, for example – and you can expect to see ideas in those areas throughout the next few weeks. But I want to challenge you all to something, if you’re going to go down one of these routes this year…do something different. Do something amazing that’ll knock dad’s patterned socks off. To take one example, if he loves grooming products, go the extra mile and get him something truly luxurious – like today’s featured brand. The ultimate wet shave.
Luxury Edition Gift Set ($345)
Presenting Truefitt & Hill, one of the world’s foremost experts on all things grooming. At least, that’s what I assume is the case, given the brand has over 200 years of history behind it. Founded in London, England in 1805, Truefitt & Hill is actually the world’s oldest barbershop, with several elite shops opened in other countries around the world (including one in Toronto’s Brookfield Place – in which a prepaid visit would also make an excellent Father’s Day gift). Apart from an incredibly high standard of service, the iconic brand also formulates and sells its own luxury grooming line, consisting of everything from shaving products to lotions to skin and hair care.
Shaver Starter Pack ($240)
As you can imagine, when you’ve got 200+ years of history behind you, your brand will build up quite a clientele. In the case of Truefitt & Hill, they’re actually the Master Barbers to the royal family – and have been since the reign of George III in 1805 (in fact, they have a line named after that year). Today, they still take care of the grooming needs of H.R.H. Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh. Truefitt & Hill was also the brand of choice for first class passengers on the Titanic – artifacts from the brand were found on the ship and are now on display in New York. Not bad company for dad (or your hubby, or your brother, or your son, or any significant guy in your life) to be associated with, right?
Truefitt & Hill products come in seven different scents at the moment (one of which is actually unscented), each with a distinctive personality. From masculine and woodsy Grafton to crisp, oceanic 1805, there’s a scent for every guy’s taste. The products are generally available across all fragrances, although No. 10 and Ultimate Comfort (the aforementioned unscented variety) are slightly scaled back.
Not sure what scent your guy might like? If you’re just introducing someone to Truefitt & Hill, the brand actually offers three different sample packs, ranging from $20 for a collection of colognes to $60 for a set of creams, balms and colognes. They also offer high end hardware and an array of gift packages (in any scent), beautifully packaged in Truefitt’s own inimitable style. No matter what you choose, the grooming guru in your life will be thrilled to try out this legendary brand before deciding on his signature scent.
It should be noted that Truefitt & Hill is a head-to-toe kind of brand. While their lineup of balms, shaving products, soaps, and more is great for keeping him smelling fabulous, the brand also carries a rather extensive collection of tools and accessories for the discerning gentleman. These items reflect the experience of visiting a Truefitt & Hill barbershop, where a shoe shine and manicure are proffered alongside an indulgent hot towel shave. To that end, it’s also a great source for those looking to treat their groomsmen, whether for a pre-wedding group shave, or with one of the brand’s incredible line of goods, from a leather flask to luxury razor and brush.
Now if you love spoiling the guy in your life – good news! Truefitt & Hill has agreed to help me out in letting you spoil someone special. We’re giving away a prize package valued at over $130, including the Truefitt & Hill’s incomparable Pre-Shave Oil, 1805 Shaving Cream, and a sample set of Balms, Creams and Colognes.
