Trumpers/Williams - I don't see much difference
I bought a puck of Williams yesterday, I've always had a soft spot for it due it's scent and low cost. I've used it before but that was before I shaved with a straight. As usual with Williams it was a bit of effort to get a good lather and by the time one side of my face and neck were done the other was chalk and had to be redone. Still, I had a nice shave.
I've got a puck of Trumper lime scent I've had for a bit and I used that today. I hadn't used it recently because I find it difficult to create a good lather and it dries out fast. With today being so fresh after my Williams experience yesterday I noticed the time and effort required to get a good lather was about the same and the drying effect was also the same.
So besides price ($1.69 vs $20) and scent I don't see much difference. Is it just me? I can lather other soaps and cremes just fine but that Trumper just doesn't go easy for me.
