Up till now I've just been using Mitchell's Wool Fat soap with a little Musgo Real cream mixed in, which has been incredibly kind to my skin. I haven't ventured out into the world of shaving soaps and creams properly yet as I was trying to keep my shave experience as uniform as possible while I was learning to use a straight razor and didn't want to complicate things with different soaps, creams, or razors. However, I'm now getting to the stage where I want to experiment a little so I would be interested in your experiences of Trumper's soaps when you get them if you'd be willing to come back and post your opinions. I've read a few glowing reviews of Trumper's soaps, but a fellow newbie perspective would be welcome.
