Speak out Trumpers Violet Lovers

**Wildalaska** · 02-29-2012, 12:22 PM

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

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.

**Hippie Kai Yay** · 02-29-2012, 02:34 PM

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

iv just orderd the hard soap version whats it like? i cant wait till it gets here lol im like a kid at xmas

**Toddy** · 02-29-2012, 02:46 PM

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.

**JeffM** · 02-29-2012, 04:56 PM

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.

**shaverjoe** · 02-29-2012, 06:23 PM

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

**Tim_McD** · 02-29-2012, 08:01 PM

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?

**arm017** · 03-01-2012, 06:45 AM

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.

**shaverjoe** · 03-01-2012, 12:21 PM

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.

**Lando** · 03-01-2012, 06:33 PM

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.

**pghwetshaver** · 04-08-2012, 09:02 PM

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.

**Jeepermac** · 04-09-2012, 12:04 PM

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.

**squatzilla801** · 04-09-2012, 04:46 PM

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.

**Manning** · 04-09-2012, 07:35 PM

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.
