Overnight means overnight
I ordered the Geo.F.Trumpers Limes, Rose and Violet shaving soaps in bowls
from mensbiz the other day. I paid about $12.00 for GST.
Postage and shipping was free !!
Blow me down if they weren't on my doorstep the next day !!
I'm pretty sure it was less than 24 hrs too.
I've tried the Rose and it really is a superb fragrance.
Lathers like a demon and makes up for the fact (a bit ) that the pucks
are only 80 gms each.

Trumpers certainly live up to their history of being, amongst other things, "Gentlemens Perfumers".
These three soaps reflect this and are like nothing I've tried before.
I actually found the Violet soap in particular, relaxing and calming me with its scents and tones.

Do the scents have any staying power? Or are they gone pretty much straight away? In use I mean.

Ed, I found the scents lasted a few hours at home (indoors, non-work environment) and I could still detect them to a lesser degree
under a layer of Nivea skin care moisturiser. The Violet soap in particular, was a revelation.
I'm not a new-age aromatherapy kind of guy, but this scent did affect me in a calming, positive way.
If you look at the fourth segment of the above video you'll get an idea of the range of scents to prolong that post shave "high".
I don't think I could afford any of them at the moment though !!

From your recent posts, I don't think you really would have that much use for more soap.Originally Posted by bongo

Hah !!....Ed, one can never have too many straight razors, and one can definitelyFrom your recent posts, I don't think you really would have that much use for more soap.
not have too many soaps either.
As it happens, I had a very modest Lotto win that enabled me to buy these and two D.R. Harris soaps/bowls which have
not arrived yet. Otherwise I couldn't have afforded them.
