I have had some luck with George Trumper’s creams but had to practice to figure out how to get the lather I wanted. If I added too much water Or tried to rush it, it would still have seemingly good lather but it lacked the cushion and would dry out half way through the pass. Kind of like you were seeing. Great video. Hope it was a very Merry Christmas for you and all of yours!
Trumper's rose is much darker, more scented and produces more profuse lather than the TOBS, not that it seems likely you'll be buying any. I find I get enough lather from just dipping the tip of a synthetic brush in the bowl. I guess culturally we see rose as a feminine scent, but it's a well-established scent among English gentlemen, so I read. There's no rose aftershave, so I guess there are limits, even for English gentlemen! I quite like the rose and was glad to see someone review it.
I had a terrible time getting a lethal out of it before i sold it. I will try Trumpers again though as my lather technique has vastly improved. The scent was nice because it reminded me of my gran hahaha
My first time watching your channel, have used GFT rose shaving cream,, was ok but not overly so, haven’t used TOBS yet but heard your comments on it,,, did it really make a difference in your opinion?
In all honesty I’m not a fan of tobs or gft. Gillette pure shaving cream is a far superior cream and contains far less ingredients. There are far better creams on the market than tobs and gft however there are many people who also love them. Each to their own I guess.
After 10 days of illness had my first shave with an ATT H2 razor (slightly kess aggressive then Muhle R41) paired with a Gillette 7oclock, bit too aggressive for me I think but I'll try with another blade and see how i get on. Have a lovely time in Bali
hi Chris brilliant video as always hope all's well, hope does the cream compare to tobs? I'm quite new to de shaving any creams and soaps you could recommend?
+edd I would say that the Geo F Trumper is nowhere near as good as the TOBS. However I may have lathered it wrong, I'm going to do a load from the tub next time and then face lather or bowl lather from there! In terms of what I love to use and highly recommend I will do a list of what I enjoy using:- Proraso Green soap - strong menthol hit Omega cream - strong menthol hit Wickham Soap company soaps OSP soaps WolfPac Aussie artisan makes lovely soaps Humphreys Handmade Soaps TOBS is excellent for the price! Shaver Heaven soap is lovely if you can get your hands on it that is. La Toja soap stick Razo Rock soaps are lovely but the scent strengths are very mild but they lather great and do a great job! Derby and Arko also great budget soaps! Problem I am finding is that after using artisan soaps I find it difficult to go back to the mass produced stuff as the artisans really make awesome soaps! Happy shaves mate! Cheers Cris
+Jeremy Vuozzo it really is a beautiful razor and one everyone should have in the den! I would even highly recommend as a first time razor due to the comfort level of setting 1! Cheers Cris
I associate pee with the smell of old people so you can imagine what I though when you said the cream smelt like your gran. I'm glad you made yourself clear by the end of the video
+wayne stockton hahaha that's a belter! My wife is the same as she is a nurse and associates that smell aswell! Mines is quite more of a pleasant memory then I guess hahaha

Me too keep searching rose shave videos to muster courage to buy it for regular use 😂

A fair amount of audio feedback on that razor Cris.
+Kevin Parker it's a beautiful razor and yes the feedback is awesome!

I got a rose scented shave cream for my wife and I think it smells like rose Turkish delight.
+The Suffolk Shaver this smells a bit Turkish delight but more like my gran hahaha
Excellent video. Thanks for posting. My Progress is my go to razor.
+Jeremy Vuozzo it really is a beautiful razor and one everyone should have in the den! I would even highly recommend as a first time razor due to the comfort level of setting 1!

If you haven't already learn to use a straight razor Chris u won't look back 👍

I prefer their coconut cream-great lather and it doesn't dry your skin..well worth the price!
Nice! I love the smell of coconut too! Maybe I’ll grab some eventually to try!
My girlfriend told me she is considering having an intervention because of my hobby. I can’t tell if she is serious or not 🤣😂🤣
Get the lid on that harpic mate incase the kids get a hold of it!
+Steven Kelly cheers bud, did it straight after my shave when I put my gear away! Cheers
