I love it! I love that blast of violet, the purple colour, the slickness. Its the only non T&H cream in my rotation (other than El Mehlor which is a special case)

Sing out you lovers of the Violet! Haters too :001_tt2:

One of the best smelling creams I own - it's like the smell of pure relaxation.

Trumpers Rose is also my favorite Rose cream and the Coconut is amazing too.

I like it too. Color and smell is what makes it attractive among the GFT line.

The hard soaps are good but there's a trick to getting a decent lather. The scent is more pronounced in the cream.

Currently testing Jabonman Violet. Will shave with it again tomorrow. The scent blows away GFT Violet.

The Violet was my first real cream after canned goo and it holds a special place in my heart. it is still arguably the best scent out there and a must try.

Love GFT violet. Has anyone tried the Razorock violet? If so, how does it compare?

I absolutely love Geo Trumper's Violet. I have been maintaining a rotation through my products and I am getting ready to retire my ToBs and DR Harris creams and going exclusively with T&H and Trumpers.

I am thinking about trying the Trumpers Rose soap, but perhaps hedging the bet with a tube of cream as well. Heck, might as well add a tube of the Violet, too.....for travel.....

Sorry, had to get rid of mine. stained my brush and the smell was too artificial.

Stained your brush?

It is a wonderful scent. I never had any brush staining issues. When picking for a Trumper's floral scent though, I would probably go for the Rose in the future.

I never had any brush staining issues either. Though the cream is a striking purple color in the tub, the lather I made was always white.

Track down the Jabonman. No color and the scent is anything but artificial.

yeah the tip of my brush has a purple hue. i guess it didn't help that that particular brush became the dedicated trumper violet brush.

I loves me some Trumper Violet! Using it with T&H Preshave oil, and typically AOS Unscented AS balm.

I do detect a faint purple in my lather, but I've not had brush-staining issues, either.

:biggrin::tank:I love this cream, and it is by far the best on my skin, of everything else in my collection. Even when I use something else, after a few days I am back to the "purple goodness!" It also seems that it is not affected/works with a myraid of after-shave splashes.

If any of you guys want to try the soap, I have an only used once trumper's violet soap in bowl that I'm willing to sell.

It was my first high end cream and has remained in the rotation. I love it.

It WILL stain a brush if used repeatedly with no break of another cream in between over a prolonged period. But, if you back off and use others, even post stain, the purple will fade.
