Thread: is it just me or Geo F. Trumper violet soap doesn't go with sensitive skin ?

I haven't had tried many brands of soap/cream, atm I have about 12 different brands, mostly soap, and so far in my experience, its only my GFT violet soap is the only one that gives me a uncomfortable feeling on my face right after just a few strokes of shaves.
Too bad I actually love the thick lather from GFT, the scent and their original bowl

I have had great luck with the cream.

I found the violet cream caused a mildly uncomfortable sensation on my skin, not terrible or long lasting though.

I find that people have a ton of different sensitivities and some have none at all. Lavender bothers some, strong menthol for others. Some guys with sensitive skin go with just unscented stuff for that very reason. You might try the GFT Coconut Oil. I have pretty sensitive and fair skin and it gets along with that one well.

I don't have any empirical evidence but lavender does seem to crop up in a lot of threads where sensitive skin is involved.

Gosh Lynn,

I hadn't thought of you as being pretty, sensitive and fair skinned before...!

calling yourself "fairly" insensitive also proves that you are a master of understatement Neil

Is the Trumpers violet soap as purple as the cream? The amount of purple dye in the cream is just ridiculous

That's a the violets isn't it?

That would never touch my brush, Darl. I suppose you have a dedicated brush to that. Looks as my daughter's makeup, that!
