    Hey :)

    I have a pending order for 2 Trumper shave creams, but because the Coconut once again is sold out, it still is only pending :angry019:

    Now that I may have time to edit my order - what is your personal favourite Trumper shave creams ?

    My preferences is a shave cream that smells natural, not synthetic like som Trumper creams tend to do, and the most important thing for in a shave cream is the ability for the cream to moisten & heal my skin directly after the shave.

    I already have close to 20 shave creams from all the other well known shave cream brands, so what would you recommend me to get from Trumper if I only can buy 2 shave creams from them ?

    My current shave cream den:

    Acqua Di Parma
    Penhaligon Endymion + Blenheims Bouquet
    Truefitt & Hill Ultimate Comfort + Sandalwood + Trafalgar + Crafton
    TOBS Jermyn Street + Avocado
    DR Harris Arlington + Marlborough
    Fitjar Folgefonn + Citrus Kick
    Kent GB
    Castle Forbes Lime + Lavender
    Art of Shaving Lemon + Sandalwood
    Men Ü Shaving Cream
    Proraso
    Speick
    Bluebeard Revenge

    Coconut, for sure is my favorite.

    You might want to try the Violet if you don't have a 2 band brush and aren't worried about the dye.

    I got the Coconut again.

    For some reason I and many others these days seem to prefer Truefitt&Hill ShaveCreams over Trumpers.

    So I chose to order yet 2 more Truefitt&Hill ShaveCream, so my total of them are 4, while I only have 1 TOBS (Jermyn street) and 1 Trumper (once again Coconut)

    In several forums ShaveCream fans seem to prefer Truefitt&Hill over Trumper - both when it comes to Sandalwood, Almond and Lime editions.

    10 years ago people seemed to favour Trumper, not so anymore since Truefitt&Hill reformulated their shaving creams.

    Trumper's Rose is top notch stuff.

    Late to the game but Rose is awesome. I wiped that out in no time. Almond is also nice.

    I wish the Rose soap wasn't as faint, but its still nice.

    I imagine you can actually smell the cream though haha.

    I don't buy shave creams in colour :)

    My Silvertip brush is fine in its colour as it is, don't want it to end up having a pink, lime green or lilac shine ;)

    Trumper Coconut was my pick - and it's my favourite Trumper cream.

    A friend of mine once sent me a sample of the Trumpers Lime cream. It was quite nice.

    Eh unless its a 2 band, you really shouldn't worry about the dyes.

    How does the coconut cream compare to the soap? I have the soap myself, but am interested in getting a couple different creams. I assume it would be a little bit thicker, and more cushiony.

    Been using soaps for a while. This week I'm going back to my creams for a bit.
    Up first is going to be Trumper's GFT on Sunday.

    I'm partial to the GFT Limes shave cream. I think it has the best limes scent of all the lime shave creams I've tried. That being said, KMF Lime smells almost as good, is a third of the cost (per oz.) and just barely outperforms Trumper's in slickness and cushion.

    Trumper's shave soaps are mediocre. Great smelling, but poor performers. Their vintage soaps were great, but the modern soaps are pale imitations of their past greatness.

    Steer clear from the GFT shaving soaps! The lather is virtually non existant. It falls apart within seconds. The creams though are top notch, a league above TOBS.
