I'm also a little surprised not more have commented on Trumper's Rose.
In my opinion it is king of the Trumper's range and by far the best Rose soap. It's the first soap I've tried and there is a little background to this: I have stupidly sensitive skin. Too many years of using canned goo has made my face look like worn-out tarmac on a road, so I was reluctant to use a shaving soap for some time.
The soap's lather is very rich and creamy after about 6-8 swirls. As with any soap, you need to get the water quantity right. Start with a little, then add more as it's better to have to add water than to have to remove it afterwards.
The scent is just heaven. Others at home have commented on how far the scent goes, whilst I'm shaving with it. It's not overpowering, just delicate and floral.
On numerous occasions after shaving, I would rinse my face with warms then cool water. My face would feel so good that I didn't want to add anything to it. And given how sensitive my skin is (was), I think this is quite an achievement for any soap.
I should add that it goes perfectly well with the Coral Skin Food product.
Finally, a quick word on price. I got it with the wooden bowl and whilst I agree it seems expensive as a one-off purchase, consider how long this will last you. I am on my first cake and it's still not even half the original size two years' on!!
