    Default Skin Food

    Can I get some general thoughts on Trumper Coral Skin Food post shave? Thanks.

    it's been around a long time. Most like it. It's in the upper tier of aftershave solutions. I used it for quite some time before I moved on however I would recommend it.

    I use the lime skin food. It is not greasy and very soothing. Love the scent also. I also use Prorasso After Shave Balm which is a bit more soothing and has hardly any scent.
    The tale is doon, and God save al the rowte!

    One of my most favorite shaves, is with Trumpers extract of limes soap. Then finished off with the limes skin food. Ive never smelled or tried the coral. Iv'e read about a lot of guys liking it, just go for it!!!

    I've only tried the Coral, but it's fantastic stuff. It feels great when applied after shaving, helps to moisturize and IMO works well against razor burn.

    This sums up my experience with the Coral as well.

    I started of with it combined with the Rose cream, then went to the Rose soap. The skin food worked great and got rid of what irritation I had. After leaving to one side for a while though, I went of it. I have only a little left and doubt I'll be buying some more in future.

    I would only criticise it on its moisturising properties. Not very good for that but in warm or hot weather it works just fine.

    I have yet to find anything that can match my finish of skin food plus a splash of Trumper's Spanish Leather aftershave.

    Gentlemen:
    I use Trumper's Coral Skin Food both as pre-and-after shave. The rose fragrance is a delight, and the product does not feel oily. Good stuff, indeed. Which reminds me that I need to order another bottle.
