Geo F. Trumper Shaving Cream Tub

Very mild to my nose. Like a mild citrus or lime scent. It’s not super exciting like Eucris but it’s comforting and I enjoy it just fine. Of course it’s just as smooth as every other Trumper creme I’ve tried. Good stuff.

I have used them all including domestic made shaving soaps and creams. There is no comparison. I shave every day with a straight razor which is a throw back to days of old. This is the only cream I would use because it is thick and slick when coupled with a pre shave lubricant and when whipped up with a proper brush. It is much better than anything in an aerosol can by far. One tub lasts me over 6 months shaving daily. It’s a good value.

OK, so I went down the wet shaving rabbit hole and purchased a bunch of different shaving creams. I wanted to compare trumpers to tobs to see if there was much of a difference. Performance wise, not much if any. Both lather great and provide skin protection while shaving, the main difference is scent and which one you prefer.The trumper lime reminds me of dessert, kinda key lime pie-ish which I love but the scent is not overpowering at all. I also have some truefitt and hill lime on the way so I cant wait to compare this with it...Overall, tobs is a couple of dollars cheaper for the most part, in a blind test I seriously doubt you could tell the difference other than by scent alone...both give a decent post shave feeling to the skin.

As is the case with every Geo. F. Trumper product I've tried this shaving cream doesn't disappoint. Open the lid and this glistening shaving cream will greet you with a refreshing citrus aroma. It's not my favorite Trumper scent, not as wonderful as the rose or as stimulating as the sandalwood but it is a nice happy, refreshing scent. The performance as with the other Trumper varieties is unrivaled. You will enjoy pure shaving pleasure, a smooth silky shave as your razor glides over your face. Great glide, cushioning and skin protection for a super close shave (make sure you use a real razor not some expensive and useless 5 blade MachDreck toy). I recommend a single edge injector razor). Rinse with cold water and your skin feels glassy smooth and pleasant. Use a bit of Trumper's Skin Food for the full luxury shave experience (I also dab a bit of Trumper's Skin Tonic before the Skin Food for even more comfort). My only criticism would be the labeling used on the GFT variety. I enjoy the more retro looking design on the Rose and Sandalwood. However this certainly doesn't detract from the fine shave.

I've been a hard shaving soap user for 35 years. I tried the cream tube soap recently, and found it is a definite step up in the quality of the shave, but also a step up in cost. A typical cake of hard shaving soap lasts me nearly 3 months of daily use. Expect roughly 3-weeks of use with one tube of shaving cream used sparingly (small dab of cream in an empty shave bowl, then whip up with wet shaving brush). The cream is "greaser" than hard shave soap, so the razor glides better. The fact that the product is contained in a closed airless metal tube means that the fragrance of the last shave is the same as the first shave. This contrasts with the hard shave soap cake, that loses its fragrance in about a week or two. I've tried the Limes and Roses fragrance. I could care less about fragrance, but I like the Limes better than Roses as it is fresher and less obtrusive. If you are a fragrance fan, your choice might be different.

I love the subtle classic scent, great lather ( a little goes a long way), and excellent protection. For the price you cannot beat this cream. While it is not an elite performer like Castle Forbes or Al’s Shaving, it is half the price of those and lasts as long and performs at a high level.

It’s a quality cream that specializes in being slick, but for me it pales in comparison to creams like Castle Forbes, Truefitt & Hill and even TOBS, which is less expensive

I have tried Trumper and some of the other English shave creams… this one is the best. Much better than any Gillette product or any aerosol product.
