Geo F Trumper Extract of Limes Skin Food

I have heard other guys talking about the advantages of wet shaving...so i decided to start looking into it bit by bit. As i have already purchased a few aftershaves...heres my review of Geo F. Trumper Limes Skin Food. (Which is considerably cheaper here than other sites) When you first get it...1st thing that runs in your mind is..."hmm this is a small bottle" (But you realize when you use it...all you need is a dab on your fingertip (two drops worth) Once you wipe it on your face after a dab of it...you'll feel how thick it feels. It leaves a slight wet look as if you put moisturizer on your face. The smell is incredible (True Limes!) ...and it lingers on your face for a bit. (My wife's favorite A/S so far) From my time using it, you'll notice a few things 1- Your face will feel smoother after using it...truly a moisturizing feeling 2- A little bit will make this small bottle last you a LONG time...(my friend bought it in the summer and isn't 1/2 way through) 3- The smell is incredible... 4-It helps calm razor burns....truly skin food For those of you still on the fence try the Skin Food sampler pack from maggards (http://www.maggardrazors.com/product/geo-f-trumper-skin-food-samples/ ) I honestly can't complain about using this product as Im totally satisfied with this purchase plus price here ($17.25) is quite a bargain...if i didn't already have a bottle id buy another.

Ok I love the smell of lime but who doesn't ? When I started getting into old school double edge razor blade shaving and banished Gillette from my life forever (YEA!), I saw that this Trumper's "skin food" kept coming up again and again in the recommendations within the shaving forums. I knew there had to be something to this product but the price made me wary. When I saw how much this bottle cost I really did laugh out loud- hey I'm cheap and Target sells post shave balms for $5 why do I need this foo-foo ripoff stuff ? Well I put my skepticism aside and got this as a Christmas present to myself and I'm damn glad I did. This stuff smells incredible. In fact my wife probably loves it more than me if that's possible. Improves my shaving and my sex life ? Incredible. But how does it work for it's intended purpose ? Well, the stuff melds into your face after you put it on and really does make skin feel great after shaving. It has an interesting "thick" consistency; meaning its thicker than liquid and is not quite a gel- just right to keep it in the intended spot on your palm when you squeeze a bit onto your hand. There is no burn (very little alcohol if any in this product)and only a 30 second wet look as the stuff gets absorbed into your skin. A little dab will do you! If your face still has that "wet" look after a minute or two you're using too much and need an intervention! Many guys in the shaving forums (Badger & Blade etc.) say that one bottle of this stuff will last over a year. If you are judicious and use a tiny nickel size dab this stuff works incredibly well, smells fantastic, and you'll be looking forward to using this after your shave! This skeptic is beginning to think this was a great investment. I hope you will as well. Best!

I have a few aftershave lotions, splashes, and balms that I like quite a bit. Proraso, Captain's Choice, Men's Soap Company, for example, and I like them all. However, after the first use of this Geo F. Trumper Limes Skim Food, I'm inclined to say that it has immediately become my favorite. Like other reviewers have said, a little goes a long way. Just a few drops, and it really spreads out over your face. If I didn't see that it was just a few drops, I'd swear it was much more by the way it goes on, and it works wonderful on the skin. This is five star quality stuff, IMO, and there's only one reason I took away a star. I really like lime scents, and this has a very nice one, but it leaves almost right away after putting it on, less than a minute (for me anyway). For such a nice lime scent, I wish it would hang around for a while, and that is my only criticism of this fine aftershave.

Fantastic aftershave. I've used twice since getting it this week, and I can say that whatever irritation I may have due the shave, this skin food soothes and hydrates. I really like the fact that the face is not left oily or creamy. It's absorbed immediately by the skin, and you can almost feel it. I've tried a few different balms aftershave, including the big box store ones, and I can't even compare to this... That's how good this is. It's pricy for sure, but very much worth every penny. The scent is subtle, not over powering, ND certainly not long lasting. My TOBS sandalwood comes through more than this. BUY IT!!!!

Je n'ai pas l'habitude de laisser des commentaires sur un produit. Mais pour celui-ci, je me devais de le faire tellement il répond à mes attentes. Après avoir testé un nombre incalculable de baumes après-rasage qui me laissaient à chaque fois avec un sentiment mitigé (trop gras, trop mentholé, pas assez nourrissant, etc.), j'ai enfin trouvé le produit que j'attendais. D'une texture riche mais pas grasse, le baume pénètre très rapidement l'épiderme et laisse une superbe sensation de fraîcheur légèrement citronnée, tout en apaisant instantanément la moindre irritation (précision, je me rase exclusivement au coupe-chou). Petit conseil d'utilisation : appliquez une petite noix (très peu suffit !) sur un visage bien essuyé sur lequel vous aurez au préalable passé un bon splash d'eau très froide ! C'est la touche finale idéale pour obtenir un rasage BBS !

The scent of this product is absolutely divine! So fresh and clean. The product has a gel like consistency and glides on with ease. At first it feels a little sticky but fear not, its just the product drying into the skin, 5 minutes and its all good. Can’t recommend enough.

i gave it 5 stars as i like the product so much. that said its not really that special,but it does the job well. the smell is faint and doesnt last long so it can be used after any shave. doesnt seem like a moisturiser as such but offers hydration to the skin,think it will be ok for me and my naturally oily skin.

Has a strong refreshing citrus lime smell when used which faded to a subtle hint afterwards. Applied easily and was quite soothing - a little goes a long way. There was no alcohol burn but there was some numbness like a local anaesthetic for about a minute after applying. It felt very slick when applying but dried quickly with no residue left being. Not the most moisturising I've ever used but still very enjoyable.

Used for many years but noticed it’s become very watery, a lot of better products on the market now.
