So, I've grown to love using Trumpers limes skin food on after a shave, yet have a newly discovered issue. My girlfriend recently mentioned to me that, and this is no joke, "sometimes, your face tastes funny, when you've shaved." I happened to have the skin food with me, and when we unwisely tasted a miniscule drop, she identified it as the offending taste.
Has anyone else had a similar issue with any aftershave? And does anyone have any suggestions?
Suggestions??? Try not to eat it and I think you'll be okay.:D
I'd think that all aftershaves and colognes would have a somewhat unpleasant taste, for the record.
Good luck, Danb.
IT might be called skin food, but that doesnt mean to eat it!!
:P

I drink Old Spice every once in a while, gets me kinda woosey and makes me feel like a ship!:roflmao
My four year old wouldn't let me kiss her on the face for a while after she planted one on my face and tasted some aftershavebalm. That made me so selfconscious I tend to stick to alcohol/witch hazel after shaves now [which has been facilitated by the fact that I've gotten better at straight razor shaving and don't filet myself like I used to].
So I would say balms/skinfoods are not good in the attracting female attention department.
Cheers to driver/examiner! Three sheets to the wind! YO HO and a bottle of....what?:eek:
You remind me of the guy I used to know that would take a sixpack of Nyquil to work!:roflmao

Well I have now gone back to using the Skin Food, unfortunately my girlfriend solved the issue for me...by breaking up with me. :cen
Fair trade?
I can top that.
Mine broke up with me because I slept on her side of the bed one night. :roflmao
Hey this could be a thread on its own. "The silliest reasons for breaking up with someone"
Sorry man, just kidding.
Good Morning Gentlemen,Quote:

Considering the difference between Aftershave ( for face ) or a light Cologne......for face/body scent and their proper placement would indeed come into foreplay....;) ...chuckle...... but I didn't realize that Aftershave would stay on the skin for such a long period of time.
Hmmm......Which must be because most of the men I've known in my life have had beards........and as I write this I've come to the immediate conclusion that there is a hidden psychological reason buried deep within my psyche for my love of straight razors..... :roflmao
Aftershave taste on skin duly noted!

If skin food does for me what she did, I'd never stop using it : )
I have just used Trumper's Lime Skin Food for the first time. I am very impressed with both the product & its scent. Silver likes the smell but declined to try the taste...
Not really being into face licking I decided why bother?!:roflmao Spike did have a gloriously smooth face after using the skin food though, had me purring like a kitten in no time.;)
Sorry about the GF Danb I'm sure there are plenty more potentials out there for you.:D
thanks guys, gals, and anyone else...haha. I appreciate the well wishing, the jokes, and everything in between. The issue was really because Im of the , don't shave until right before going to see a girl, hence aftershave was put on very close to when said face was potentially licked/kissed.
Trumpers is a glycerin based product. Glycerin is used in the food industry as a sweetener and thickening agent. I'm sure if she were to describe the taste it would "Sweet, but not sugar sweet, more nasty sweet." if that makes sense.
Glycerin has a tendency to stick around (which is why it smooths so well and protects the skin) but that means that the taste is going to be there as well.
If you take a little witch hazel and use it to thin out the skin food it may assist with absorption in the skin as witch hazel and glycerin are like peanut butter and jelly, they really compliment each other well.
Glycerin is readily available at health food stores and when mixed in about a 1-10 ratio with witch hazel it makes an awesome moisturizer and aftershave.
Just add a little natural vanilla and almond extract and your girlfriend can lick your face all she wants, you'll taste like a cookie. :hmmm:

Try it on cracked ice with a splash of vermouth and an olive. Shaken, not stirred, of course.Quote:

Well, I would suggest my back-up-in-case-of-emergency-you-can-find-most-anywhere-aftershave-and-fix-almost-every-skin-condition-lotion but I hadn't tasted it. So I went down the hall and opened the bottle and then......

it was soapy, but not bad. Long aftertaste though....

Personally, I would stay away from balms, skin foods and other such fru-fru. I prefer a more natural feel to my skin.
My Dad told me years ago that back in the early '50s Navy ships prohibited aftershave onboard during war-zone outings. He was on a ship off Korea for a bit. Seems some percentage of sailors took to drinking aftershave for an easy (if not tasty) light buzz from the alcohol. I guess if you gotta get some alcohol into your blood that's one way to go about it.
