Shaving Cream Review: Trumper's Lime
Posted: Fri Apr 15, 2005 1:08 pm
Gents,
While my favorite creams are Taylor's, Trumper's is a VERY close second. They are a bit lighter than Taylor's creams, but you get more in a tub, so it makes up for it. It also double the price. They, are, however worth the price IMO. Trumper's also differs from Taylor's in that there scents are "single notes" meaning there is no mixing of scents. You buy a tub of limes, you get a lime scent, with no background notes. Since the scents are VERY good, this tends to be a good thing.
Texture/Appearance
All Trumper's creams have the same basic appearance, a bit light and fluffy looking. A little still goes a long way.
Latherability
Trumper's produces a great lather using a smidge more than almond size dollop. The lather is thick, very well hydrated, and provides a great shave with closeness and no irritation.
Scent
I love the scent of Trumper's Limes. It smells just like fresh cut limes, about to be dropped into a bottle of Corona. Very refreshing, but not overpowering. Like I mentioned previously, it is a single note scent, so you get a smack of limes pure and simple, no background notes, no nothing. If you are a lover of lime/citrus scents, you owe it to yourself to try this cream.
The Shave
I get a great shave with this cream. Free from nicks and irritation, although it has a tendency towards drying your skin a bit, but nothing drastic.
Try this with...
Trumper's Lime Skinfood and a couple of spritzes of Trumper's Lime cologne or Floris Classic Limes cologne.
The Verdict
8.5/10. A solid all around cream with a great scent!
