A Gentleman's London, Episode Seven: Truefitt & Hill 

When the Barber is wearing a GMT Master, you're not getting much change from a tenner.

Never thought I would spend fifteen minutes watching Haircut and Shave, fascinating...

When your barber wears one of the most sought after Rolex watches….. you know he’s good!!!!

Already feel more civilized after watching this for 10 minutes. Very James Bond

The class and civilization in this video makes me hate every single haircut I have ever received in all my neighborhood barbershops. 🤣🤣🤣

Superb cut… Barber wearing a Batman Rolex👑

The vibe and atmosphere in a high end barbershop like this is always so incredibly relaxing and comforting.

Lived in London a few years for work. T&H was about 15 minutes from my office building and I'd go nearly every week for a shave or haircut. The service was always phenomenal. One of the things I miss most about living there.

I have no idea why the algorithm suggested this video, but I'm glad it did. Subscribed. 👍

Gave this as an experience for my husband and nephew. They loved their time there and said they were treated exactly like this ~ so this treatment from T & H is not just for celebrities or RU-vid. This is how they do business. 💯

I sincerely hope, we don't loose this tradition, like most things that are quickly slipping away. Really enjoyed this video.

Before I lost my hair, I'd been going to T&H for about 30 years. I still remember going with my grandfather in the 1980s to their Old Bond Street address, then Grafton Street, before they moved to St James's. First it was Wendy who did my hair, then mainly Ola. Michael too sometimes, and even Mr Dennis would have a go every so often (when he could stand cutting it as short as I liked it as a student!), and there was always the friendly face of Mr James clearing up my bright red hair. A lovely little oasis of calm, and a fond memory. I recently found some big old T&H glass jars (presumably once for storing or disinfecting equipment?) in an antiques shop in Morayshire, and these are now part of my bathroom!

Now that’s a service I would pay for!!!

What a sublime experience delivered with mastery by a true consummate professional. Excellent video. Bravo.

Getting shaved with a clean face is the most Kirby Allison thing that you could do...

I was at Trufitt and Hill last year for a 50th birthday shave, Travelled in from Toronto! Micheal was the best, It was an amazing experience.

Even I felt relaxed just watching this.

As a gentleman who lost his hair some thirty years ago. I am very jealous!

Barber is a honorable profession

Brilliant barbers. We need more places like this.

How nice is it to watch someone get pampered!

5:50 this suave hunk is wearing a Rolex GMT Master-II "Batgirl" - on a jubilee bracelet.. Pure class.

Observing the entire process has been very enjoyable

This barber is the Maradona of barbers.

Pinnacle of classic work! Great stuff!

My fantasy would be to spend a month in London, staying at the Savoy and seeing all of the sights, a concert at The Royal Albert Hall and O2, visiting Saville Row and having a full custom fitted bespoke wardrobe created with John Lobb shoes and boots, Lock & Co hats and all of the related accessories including custom luggage to bring it all back in. As many trips to this marvelous barber shop as I could manage - all the while chauffeured back and forth in a classic Rolls Royce or Daimler and dining at all of the classic spots. Always loved the classic British gentleman's style and manner - still do. Great post!

The Englishmen may be proud and thankful to have such fine traditional companies. Please do this for the next centuries as well! I hope in heaven men will need such shops too.

As I was preparing to visit London several years ago, I booked an appointment with T&H. It was one of my ‘bucket list’ items and I felt it was worth every penny. The staff were delightful and made for a great experience.

Very nice. Excellent service. Will visit there asap.

My new favorite ASMR video. Cheers!

Love the simplicity of this

Love it !! I come from a long line of barbers however I’ve never seen a barber wear rubber gloves💈

Great video. Barber was a master. What a wonderful advertisement for Truefitt. Thanks for the hard work, Tom.

I love the ticking of the clock in the background

why does it feel sooooo satisfying

Another fabulous video in this series thanks so much for showcasing and educating

Your videos never cease to amaze me.

When returning to the guards depotback in the early 70's i and my fellow cavalry men would have a similar cut and shave on the toilets of waterloo stn.

Money and time well spent - looking sharp Tom!

I really enjoyed this video, having never experienced anything like this. The presenter is excellent, seemed to enjoy his experience and offered an interesting historical perspective. Thank you.

Really Truefitt & Hill is a must in London. I bought there some shaving creams and aftershaves. The quality is superb indeed. Thank you for your presentation, it was amazing. Cheers.

Indeed always an indulgence when in London followed by Curzon books near by ❤

What a great video. It looked incredibly relaxing

Who knew watching a gentleman get his hair cut and pampered with an exquisite shave would be so much fun! Indeed, somewhat riveting! Cheers!

Absolutely brilliant video, it has got to rank in the top 3 of this series. Inspired me to put some of Truefitt's West Indian Limes cologne on.

Great video. Love Truefitt & Hill, always an amazing experience, looking forward to my next visit!

After countless years and countless wasted dollars going to corporate hack shop, I finally splurged on a true gentleman’s barber shop I found in a nearby town. Maybe not quite the legacy of T&H, but man! What a difference! Worth every penny and I’ve never looked back. Now I want to go to London!

That looked absolutely wonderful, I would love it.

worth every penny. looking forward to visiting later this year

That really looked like an experience, not just a trip to the barber! Wonderful video, keep up the good stuff!

Amazing place full of history, and it is brilliant to see a professional so dedicated to their art too. Wish I could afford it. Many thanks for sharing such a beautiful insight to another world.

I have always wanted to get a haircut and a shave at a very nice establishment such as this. Maybe someday. Thank you for the video I really enjoy all of your work. Very best regards Ron

Excellent service and a professional barber good ole Britannia. Thanks for sharing this video. When I go across the pond to London in the future. I would go here to get my haircut and shave all the works. This is probably $300.00 or so.

True craftsmanship

It’s on my list. Wonderful. PureClass cheers

One of my adoptive father's favorite place❤❤❤👍🏻

Fascinating. Who would have thought watching someone having a haircut and shave would be so entertaining.

LOVING THIS SERIES!!🥃✨

Excellent video.

Loved this video. Great barber 💈

Tie, waistcoat, batgirl and skill. Well done, sir.

Just purchased some 1805 shaving crème after watching you video 😁excellent video and all the videos you make 👍👏 Thank you Sir 💂‍♂️I was a sapper too short for the Guards 😂

What a delightful video, subscribed for more.

Decades ago, I stayed at Brown's Hotel. Their premises included 'Henry, the Gentleman's Hair Dresser.' Whenever I visited, I got an Edwardian haircut and Henry's own line of hair oils and whatever. He is also a barber worth remembering.

Must be really relaxing. I wish we had someone similar here in Germany.

Whilst in India, a street barber cut my hair, vigorously massaged my scalp, put a finger in each of my ears and left me thoughroughly 'barbered'.

What a craftsman.

Amazing place, pure British class.

Next time I am up in town I am definitely getting my hair cut by Micheal, I could do with a nice old pamper. Great video as always.

What a great channel 👌👌👌

Tom you're a real g love the content certified

Pure class👍

Great place I try to go when I am in London. Pleased to see Michael 👏🏻👍🏻🤜🏻

Love it .

Wisest 15 mins I spent on YT tbh

It looks like if you're late for an appointment there. The barber will voluntarily die of shame.

Used to be a great place. The team offered a nice single malt after the treatment. There was never electric clippers used. Just scissors over comb. The shave was really good.

Wow ! Amazing

I had a facial treatment here in the morning of my wedding day. Awesome experience with an abundance of history.

Awesome!

Not too shabby !

Lucky man. Loved the haircut and wish more men had a similar one.

Very wonderful experience nice 👌 😊 🙏😎🙌

Great Insight👍

Excellent

How delightfull.

I prefer GEO F. Trumpers on Curzon Street. I remember the first time I went there for a haircut and a shave was in the mid 1980’s, waiting in the little seating area for my barber Park was available. The Duke of Westminster was reading Country Life magazine on my left and the actor from the original Mission Impossible series Peter Graves was sitting to my right.

Great work and it is nice to see that we finally have an Englishman to promote the British heritage brands. Hopefully this will attract a more dignified crowd to these locations. While I also admire the work which Kirby Allison also does, it is an unfortunate tragedy that it attracts an obnoxious crowd of American tourists to these locations! Specially at Franco's!!!

Legend !

Extra ordinary Gentleman, extra ordinary times 😊

I like to get a shave and haircut when I go on vacation. A couple of years ago, I went to Taylors of Old Bond Street. It was...disappointing. Not really the barber's fault, but the shop set up felt like an afterthought rather than a proper barbershop. Just a tiny room towards the back with lots of staff foot traffic going back and forth. Last year, I went to T&H. Much, much better experience from beginning to end. Lovely shop. Outstanding shave and haircut. Next month, I'm back in London and have lined up an appointment with Geo F Trumper at their St James shop. Can't wait!

used to go there when I was in London for work. paid for myself tho. A lovely retreat.

I love it

Awesome ❤❤

We have a Truefitt & Hill in the QVB in Sydney.

experience is the key word

They have an outlet at Majestic Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. A great experience.

The black rubber gloves were dreadfully incongruous with the traditional context. Apart from that - beautiful.

This feels like an oasis of beauty in a desert of cheapness

Superb! I LOVE the look of the experience, but wearing THAT watch as a barber, i'm not TOO sure i could afford it!😂👏🤙👍👌🤘✌🖖🍻
