Geo F Trumper?

I just tried a sample a week or two back and reported that it lathered and worked very well. The scent happened to be rose, which I would not repeat, but I'd be happy to have GFT within the scent palette I'm discovering suits me: almond, sandalwood, tabac, and similar.
I don't think anyone here has ever tried it. 
Love the coconut!

I don't think anyone here has heard of Geo F Trumper, either...I don't think anyone here has ever tried it.

The creams are fabulous. I particularly like the violet and the coconut, they smell great and perform flawlessly.
Stay away from the soaps, as they are lackluster in performance

Yep, never heard of that brand before. Are they new?
But seriously, I'm quite impressed with the four creams I have tried. Great lathers, and good scents, as well.
Which scent did you order?

Trumper who ?
The GFT soap(!) that I tried was so bad that GFT is not going to get any more of my money. Unfortunately I was not the only one; GFT soaps are known for their lousy performance.
The creams may be fantastic, but I rather spend my money with a company that has its quality control in order, and does product testing before putting something on the market.

Trumpers is good stuff. I have a tub of coconut waiting for summer, 2015.
I only hear good things about the creams indeed. My objection is with the company, not with the creams.
I have the Sandalwood and Rose creams, they're both very nice.
I've used Almond, Rose and Coconut over the years. All winners for me.
Trumper's creams are said to be produced by Creighton's, the same source as most of the other top-tier UK shave creams.
I have a tub of their coconut, and a couple tubes of other scents, plus a handful of other sample pots.
Never a problem with any of the creams, nor with any other of their products for that matter.

I'm glad that the price has really come down on them. They used to be one of the more expensive brands when I first got into DE shaving 10 years ago. They were like 30-35 a tub. Now you can get them regularly for 18-20. A significant price drop.
I've been away from the forums for a while and only recently noticed the price drop. I had bought so many creams/soaps in the past that I had to stop buying them and use some of my old ones up just so I could stand a chance to clear them out. Well that hasn't happened, so I've just given in and started to buy more
That was after a five year stint of not buying anything.
It's much more enjoyed experience when you can buy stuff and aren't 'stuck' with using what you already have.

You're a much more seasoned shaver than I am, but I can hear what you're saying. I just recently got my soap/cream collection to a total of 15, and I think to myself "it's going to take me forever to use all of this" but that doesn't stop me from planning on buying more. I think the hunt for new products and the anticipation of trying a different brand or different scent is just as fun as the actual act of shaving.
