Thread: No wonder I dumped Trumper soap

That said, I was tempted to try a soap but I probably won't now! I'd quite like to try a tube of eucris cream though!

Yes, wish I had bought the cream now, still haven't used thr soap but the smell is really nice, and.the soap bowl is nice too. Looks like I may have a really expensive bar of shower soap.

A Journey to Naught

Before I decided to chuck the puck one more attempt (well 2) was made.

1. Nuked the bowl for ten seconds and popped the puck into my hand.
2. Let the puck rest for a few minutes and then grated.
3. Pressed the gratings into a wide mouth mug.

BTW, we have softened water.

Day One

Did my normal face prep and loaded a silvertip brush. As I started to face lather I noticed pieces of soap in the brush and on my face. Note to self, repress the soap before trying again. I got a good bit of lather but it was light and burned my face. I think I had overloaded the soap even thought I repeatedly dipped the brush in water. I managed to shave but without much cushion. My face burned all day even after repeated lotion applications.

I added water and repressed the gratings.

Day Two

Decided to do a test face lather. I got tons of lather. However, the lather was light and airy. After a lot of swirling and water additions, the lather looked good. Rinsed this off and proceeded to bowl lather.

Reloaded the brush and started whipping up the lather. After, IMO, an extended amount of time I had a lather that looked good and did not dry. I now hoped for the best and started to shave.

Well, there was no cushion whatsoever. Reminded me of some Hunslinger (?sp) soap I have used.

I shaved with very poor results. My beard looked like I had not shaved for about 12 hours. Bummer.

So, I am done with the Trump.

I will try to melt the remains into a bar and let the Swiss Miss use it on her legs. Should our members in S.E. Wisconsin read of my murder you will know how that worked for me.

As Mr. Keillor writes of the Norwegian bachelor farmers in Minnesota. "T'ell wid it"

I have tried 2 of there soaps "Almond" and "Officers and Gentlemen" the Almond I can't do anything with but the "Officers and Gentlemen" I have no problem with and like very much. I have no clue as to why one works and the other is a bust I used the same brush and the same routine on both.

Is the ingredients list the same for both?

Good point. Could well be two different soaps from two different batches or manufacturers altogether.

No the ingredient list is not the same.

Could be one is vegan and the other is tallow. Could be different manufacturers or batches as rum said. Interesting though if you are looking at getting some Trumpers.
