They are all great. But FOR ME...the coral is the best.
Of course, depends on what scents you like. I also find the coral to be the most soothing...especially in the winter.
I have a sample or coral and lime, but have not tried them yet, will give them both a try first, although I have a feeling coral will be the better as the lime is going to be citrusy...
Thanks!
i like sandalwood the best, but you'll be putting it on you, so try the ones you have before deciding.
I like the sandalwood the best as well.
I'm glad I got to try all three in their sampler pack. I was really considering spending the 26 bucks on this, but I tried their samples and decided against it.
I do not feel like it provides in soothing, refurbishing properties. Skin Food gets a bunch of love on the forums so you might like it. YMMV
Depends on what's important to you:
- Scent wise, the Sandalwood might apply to some men as it's not too "girly". Good luck if you have sensitive skin though and might not mix with some scents.
- Limes goes really well with citrus soaps/creams and EDTs, but some have likened the scent with something artificial.
- Coral is unbeatable for sensitive skins in my opinion. Works a treat with the Rose soap / cream. Not recommended for harsh winter environments and may not appeal to all as the scent is a bit rose-oriented.
My own personal choice is the Coral. Wouldn't change it for the world and the scent is more of a girl magnet if anything.
They're all good. I find the Sandalwood to be mildly scented, The Coral, which is like Rose scented is nice, as is the Lime skin food. I guess whatever scent you like the best. A little goes a long way. a Dollop the size of a thumbtack head is more than enough.....
Well, I'm a young guy so I'm used to more modern scents. For example, I use more modern cologne like Emporio Armani and Gucci II, just to give you an idea of my preference. I have GFT Coral and I gotta say it smells like my grandmother. I'm warming up to it because it feels GREAT on my skin. I want to try Limes though.
I've yet to try Skin Food, so I was wondering why the coral is not recommended for harsh winter environments? Being Canadian I know all about those :) (or maybe a :( is more appropriate.....)Quote:

I like coral the best. None last very long, so they ususlly don't interfere with any cologne you might be wearing.
I like lime the best, but when it's cold in Norway I prefer Caswell-Massey Number Six or Mama Bear winter ASB
I have the Sandalwood stuff and I love it!
You can get a small sample pack from Trumpers if you want to try different ones out, or just go to the store if you're near London.
I found the coral one smelt a little to floral and sweet for my liking, but the lime one was also excellent, and very strongly scented. The sandalwood is much more mildly scented.
Personally I'd go for sandalwood, but try a few and see which you like!
Any one is a great pre-shave. I prefer the coral and lime though.
