Hello, Legman:
Trumper's coral skin food has a large following here. Everything you say about it is on spot. I've used it for years and am never without it. Good stuff.
Regards,
Obie
+1 I like it too. I have the GFT limes and the GFT Coral skin food. Great stuff.

My shave den is never without Skin Food either. Once my bottle is empty I'm tempted to try another scent other than the coral, but I'm worried that I might be messing with a good thing! Lasts forever, too.
This is one of the products I've read about hundreds of times and thought to myself, you gotta try this B.
So far I haven't..
I use Thayer's SuperHazel mostly. Would this be an addition or a substitute to that?
And do you guys use ASB's or similar as well as this?
skin food is a balm and is used in addition to an astringent like witch hazel. it is great stuff. I want to try coral next, but have so many balms that I fear it to go bad if I purchase two at once. as it was said the stuff really seems to last. Unfortunately the bottle is so small that I lose it among my splashes and astringents.

I do feel that the skin food adds an extra moisturizing quality to your post shave routine, especially since AS's tend to have high alcohol content.
Great stuff guys.
Thanks for the info.
I'm getting me a bottle right now:)

The super witchazel and Skin food are totally different products but having used both if you use the super I wouldn't also use the Trumpers. Personally if you use the super for irritation and nicks it's far superior to the skin food. If you want a general purpose aftershave balm the Trumpers is great by itself. The super leaves a strong afterbite which I don't think would complement the Trumpers but I could be wrong.
Same here. Great product. After first bottle I oredered few more in case thea decide to change formulation or something else :-).Quote:
