Sandalwood Soft Shaving Cream Jar

I have been using George F. Trumper shaving cream for years. It is so silky and the fragrances offered are fantastic. It is a cream that creates a smooth lather that protects your skin and allows your blade to glide across the skin with never a nick on my face. Lime, Sandalwood, Rose and the best of the best, Almond. They have some custom fragrances but the Lime, Sandalwood and Almond are my favorites. It lasts for months as you only need a small amount to lather your face. I would guess you could use it easily on other parts of the body as well. You will fall in love with this product.

Works with bad, hard water, smells great, and works up a good lather.

Reviewed by my husband: I have shaved with canned products my entire life. I was looking for something to improve the shaving experience when I came across these "old tyme" shaving creams. Reviews were outstanding for these products across several brands, so after my own research, I decided on Trumpers. This decision was based on a combination of performance, price, and scent. The performance of this product is great. I feel like I am able to get a closer, more comfortable shave than ever. A little bit creates a plentiful lather for several passes, if you choose. I have followed recommendations I've seen elsewhere and shave with the grain on the first pass, re-apply lathered shave cream, then shave against the grain either laterally or vertically. Even against the grain my skin is less irritated compared to canned products, and my skin is quite sensitive. I have given 4 stars instead of 5 because of the scent. Many have described it as the smell of an old tyme barber shop. Unfortunately my life experience has not exposed me to this smell, so I can't say whether that's accurate or not. I have smelled Sandalwood, however, so I did have some expectation for how this would smell. In comparing this to other products, my conclusion was that Trumpers Sandalwood was better smelling than other brands. My opinion on the scent is that there is a hint of Sandalwood, but not much. It has more of a scent that I cannot place, which I suppose might be the old tyme barber shop that others have mentioned. It is not bad, but it would be better with a stronger Sandalwood presence, in my opinion. I also was surprised at how light the scent is. From other reviews, I expected it might linger for a few hours post-shave, but this is not the case in my experience. It seems to be completely gone within an hour or less. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but I had hoped for longer. Overall I would definitely recommend dumping the drug store cans and going with a shaving cream like this. I haven't used other brands, so I can't compare there, but I am happy with this product.

Best shaving cream ever.

Fantastic! Being a Taylor of Old Bond Street fan, I was curious to try this shaving cream based on all the excellent reviews. Wow... Now I understand why people love this stuff; it's excellent! Taylor's sandalwood shaving cream is also very good, but the scent is way to powerful for me. It smells so powerful, it gives me a headache. Trumper's sandalwood cream is as close to perfect as I can imagine. The scent lasts into the afternoon, and if I enjoy it this much, I'm sure others around me do as well. I also recommend " Geo F. Trumper's Sandalwood Skin Food, 200ml ", which is an excellent aftershave balm, also with a sandalwood scent. You only need three or four drops to totally cover your face, so the bottle will last a very long time. It hydrates your face post shave and leaves a fantastic scent that's the same as their sandalwood shaving cream.
