Geo F. Trumper Shaving Cream Tub - Lime

Over years of wet shaving I have tried many different shaving creams made in the USA and the UK and this is the one I keep coming back to. At $15 it's the best bang for the buck I've found. For reference I do like something like Castle Forbes as well which is nice too but also three times the price. I shave around every other day for two passes and a tub of this will last me at least three months, you don't need much and it whips up into a good lather easily.

Best and thickest lather from any cream or soap I've used. A little goes a long way. The lime scent is nice.

It makes for a great shave! The only negative aspect is that it reminds me of Key Lime Pie which I love, but shouldn't have.

After switching to double edged shaving three years ago, I know why the old English shaving cream companies have been around for so long. I've had a ton of shaving creams, after shave balms, pre-shave oils, etc. I have a pretty good idea what a decent product should look, smell, and feel like. This cream is one of the best. It is very moisturing, though not as moisturing as Geo F. Trumper Coconut Oil Soft Shaving Cream 200 g cream. You almost do not need a pre-shave oil. I use Geo F. Trumper Limes Skin Food, 100ml as both a pre-shave oil and aftershave (the label suggests using it for a pre-shave if you have sensitive skin).I know some people don't like this version of lime fragrance but it's all subjective. I happen to love this lime fragrance. It's somewhat sweet but not overly so or too fragrant. I've tried Truefitt & Hill Shave Cream Tub - West Indies Lime and that is much sweeter and stronger smelling than this cream.I recommend this cream for your shaving rotation.

I have yet to be disappointed by a Geo. F. Trumper product and this is certainly no exception. I use it with a brush and bowl. A very small amount gives a lot of thick lather. Very nice fragrance. Wish I had found it much earlier.

I purchased this product in anticipation of summer and warmer weather, and I'm glad I did.This cream comes in a 200 g (~7 oz) screw-top tub. Upon opening the tub, there is a protective, clear-plastic cover underneath the lid. I assume this is used to better seal and protect the product from leaks. Mine arrived in good condition, with no leaks. When I opened the tub for the first time, I was greeted with a very light, clean soap smell, with a faint lime undertone. For me this is perfect, but if you like a strongly scented shaving cream, you may want to look elsewhere. Also, I should add that this shaving cream doesn't have the same true, freshly-cut lime smell that the rest of the Trumper West Indian Lime products do. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as I find the scent of the shaving cream complements the other Trumper West Indian Lime products very well. The shaving cream itself is light green and slightly shiny. I find it very easy to create a voluminous, dense, luxurious lather with this cream using my Simpsons Commodore X3 best badger shaving brush. The lather itself is slick, very cushioning, and doesn't dry out on my face. My skin feels good post-shave, not overly moisturized or dry. To clarify, my skin is fairly oily and some shaving creams I've used seem to provide too much moisture, leaving my skin feeling oilier than I'd like right after a shave.In my opinion, this is a perfect warmer weather shaving cream that could certainly be used all year. I highly recommend this shaving cream to anyone wanting a lightly-scented, high-quality shave cream.

I am not nearly impressed with the lather part. Lather is not as rich nor creamy as other less expensive soaps. It dries out quickly on your face and has little or no viscosity at all. The scent is OK and the wooden case is also cool to have in my shaving soap cabinet collection.
