Any input on Trumpers skin food?

[mikeypedone1]

I am obsessed about all things Lemon/Lime. As far as post shave is concerned anyway. I was thinking about giving it a try. Any input?

It's got a nice scent and it doesn't linger very long. It's a co-favorite with the sandalwood skin food.

This is the first SF I ordered. I've tried it both as a pre-shave and a post ASB.

I personally prefer it as a pre-shave as its a bit too heavy for post shaving for me. The scent is fantastic, but is around literally for only minutes. It does offer a great slickness for a pre-shave routine or as an added extra to a citrus scented splash or ASB.

Amazing stuff, especially when used very sparingly and applied to a properly-damp face.

Even better when it's used after an also-very-sparingly-applied Musgo splash.

Produces beautiful children when mated with GFT's Coconut cream or soap and Virgin Island Water. Calgon, take me away...

Uh, ahem. You can just pretend you didn't hear that.

I use a bottle of Trumpers coral SF I purchased (before I knew it was scented with rose) as a preshave with Trumper Sandlewood cream. At that price I just couldn't dump it. Works great as a preshave and then I use the Trumper Sandlewood SF to finish off. I like the kind of skin sealing coating it gives, I think it's good protection for skin that just had a layer removed from it.

I got a sample of the lime SF when I purchased something. I was suprised how strong the scent was, however it didnt last as long as the Coral SF. The lime scent fades quickly where as you can still smell the Coral on your hands hours after you apply it.

Trumpers Skin food is just ok in my opinion. Smells great but can be quite sticky and often left my face feeling quite tight after drying. Apparently it only costs 2 cents a gallon to make your own as well though I've never tried. I do love the Sandalwood scent though.....yum!

I use Skin Food in light rotation with other ASBs.

Skin Food works nicely during the cold dry weather as a barrier against the elements.

I like the scent of the lime.
I do not like the sheen it leaves when used as an AS treatment.

[Torcams]

I use it and like it. It's got a limoncello + menthol thing going on.

I use this every day. I can't tell that there's any magic to it, but it closes your pores. The smell goes away quickly. Why not give it a go?

I use the lime Skin Food mixed in equal parts with Art of Shaving lemon ASB for a badass citrus smackdown. Works great!
