Has anybody here ever gotten a shave at Trumpers? What products did they use? Did they use an aftershave other than skin food?

LOL, that sounds like a nightmare.
I thought of getting a proper shave when I go up to town on 1st March, but then anything I may also buy in the shop was unlikely to make it home after a day on the lash with a mob of my countrymen - I lost my shoes one year 
I'm thinking of making a day of it in a month or so, getting a shave somewhere and visiting Trumper's, Taylor's and such.

I believe Mantic made a video as he got a shave by a Trumper rep/ barber while he was on vacation. Not sure what the equipment was but I do know the barber used a machine lather and did 2 passes with a shavette.
I think all you'll see now will be the shavette or some other disposable blade straight. With so many things out there now that'll kill you, and what with health dept. regulations being as they are, anyone using a regular straight is leaving themselves open for a lot of grief.
Its too bad as another old tradition seems to have gone into extinction.

Do y'all think it would be ridiculous to bring your own straight and brush to Trumpers? I may be a bit silly, but I would love to have the entire experience of an 'old world shave'. I may have a chance to go to England over the summer, so I would ship my razor to a fraternity brother already over there so I could make use of it. What say y'all?
