Milled potassium soap pucks are as hard as guess what?
Wait, I just noticed the ingredient list is that of the cream, vendor website error. Water, stearic acid, . . ., identical ingredient list of the Baume.be cream (and of most creams, Proraso etc.).
But please let us know when you get it, and before I start babbling about potassium soaps to strangers in the street .
Let us know.Well that’s a bummer. I’ll probably return it if they’re still using the old formula.
Let us know.
Let us know.
I just ordered 4 different Geo F Trumper hard shaving soaps: Limes, Sandalwood, Eucris and Rose. And I am determined to (one way or another) prove that these SOB's can lather as well as any other soap despite their recent reputation as worthless-performing soaps. I'm going to first try loading a damp (post bloom) puck with an even dryer damp brush and load it even more then MWF till its a paste like consistency that will respond beautifully to tiny dips of water. I'm on a mission to prove these soaps can lather super well and that I didn't waste a lot of $$$. Wish me luck (or sobriety )!
Sad to report that the ingredient list on the soap did not match the ingredient list on the website. Here’s a picture of the ingredient list on the box. This will be returned to the seller.

I've been super busy lately, haven't really had a chance to do much, haven't even shaved lately. But it is on my to-do list in the coming days.That’s too bad, you can always try your Baume.be soap, otherwise it smells really nice, makes a luxurious shower soap.
What happened to Pedigree who started this thread a couple weeks ago? He was to try lathering Trumper soaps and report back.
Sorry for the delayed response and long wait, but I finally got around to it. This morning, I unlocked the secret to Trumper hard soaps and was rewarded with an awesome lather (with enough for 3 passes). Here's what I did: I soaked the puck to soften the outer soap. With a slightly damp brush, I loaded for a long time (It's a VERY hard soap) till I got a thick paste (not a wet, bubbly foam), and face lathered, slowly adding tiny bits of water. Eventually I got a shiny, dense and slick lather with a yogurt-like consistency and great residual slickness for touchups. Give it a try.
Sure.Could you please post a photo of the ingredients printed on the box?
