I have been using Trumper's Limes Shaving Cream for about 20 years. With occasional exception, I've used it almost daily for most of that time, with both modern (two and three blades) and double edge safety razors. I've used it with a low-end boar brush, premium badger brushes, and most ecently with premium boar and premium badger brushes. The performance of this shaving cream gas been consistently outstanding. And despite my extreme sensitivity to smells, the lime scent was mild and not overpower over-powering. When it's time to make a gift of shaving cream, I routinely order a tub of Trumper's Limes. It delivers the smoothest, closest and most pleasant shave bar none. The one occasional negative likely is as due to some merchants as much as to the manufacturers: the product sometimes lacks sufficient interior wrapping so that it sometimes has arrived as dry as a soap cake rather than a cream. Fortunately, such has not been the case with thise ordered from West Coast Shaving and, in any event, can be resolved by adding some drops of water. I recommend this shaving cream without reservation.
