Trumpers Almond

[bman40]

... I think I'm in love... is it wrong to want to marry a shave cream?

I tried this this morning - part of the Trumper sample pack I received - waht a nice shave! good lubricity, and a lovely scent...

I follwed up with the GFT cologne... my wife told me how nice I smelled this morning....

I just wish this stuff was not so expensive.

Lurve the almond sample as well. Its like someone splashed Amaretto all over you. Planning on putting an order in soon.

UPDATE: Shave plus 6 hours:

sitting at my desk, and little, gentle wafty scents of almond are flaoting around my head

Would you say this was a strong scent? Are there any almond product that seemed similar or very different in strength / smell.

Thanks

It is NOT a super strong scent - Lou can perhaps back me up, but it is definitely almond.

Nice and subtle, and not super sweet / lingering / cloying... I REALLY liked it...I will have to talk it up with the wife and kids and see if I can drop a hint for father's day

Strong only when your shaving / mixing. Its not long lasting like cologne.

Smells very much like Amaretto.

Splashed some "Bogart pour Homme" after the shave. Smelled like a Bocce Ball (Amaretto and OJ) for the train ride to work. Great smell to have ...

You can definitely smell the almond fragrance during the shave. That's not always the case with some products.

It’s not really all that expensive considering how long a tub will last. Just be sure not to use more than you need for an optimal lather. Depending on your water, you may even find that using a bit less product yields an even better lather for you.

In my opinion, GFT creams are one of the very best on the market. Somehow, I find them to be a notch above their counterparts, including D.R. Harris, Truefitt & Hill, Taylor of Old Bond Street and yes, even Castle Forbes. A very solid choice for a British cream regardless of the scent chosen.

I definitely concur with the gentleman above. I have more shaving creams than I will ever use. GFT are the best shaving creams I’ve found and I have Taylor, Truefitt and Hill,DR Harris, Castle Forbes(still can’t get it to lather worth a damn), Musgo Real and all the rest! I even like it better than MDC soap and I like MDC a lot.

Ordered myself a tub of the GFT almond last night.

The GFT Almond and TOBS Almond are pretty much identical with GFT being stronger and sweeter and the TOBS being more subdued and VERY faintly nuttier.

How does the scent of the hard soap compare to that of the cream?
