I am curious - what makes the Trumper's skin food so good? There are no natural oils.
What gives?

I think it's one of the most overrated shaving products. If it didn't have the Trumper's brand name I don't think it would get much attention.
It has a nice scent.
I put it on very thinly and it seems to provide good moisturizing.
However, it is expensive and it is sticky if you put on too much.

Agreed. It's decent as a moisturizer but I think it's pretty poor as an aftershave.
But it smells soooooo good!!!
Each of the Skin Foods has a great scent, IMO. In the winter, I apply it on my wet face. It works like a good sealer against the cold, harsh winter morning air.
It works pretty well for me. Maybe I'll buy some glycerin and see if it's the same
Gentlemen,
I use Trumper's Coral skin food, which is like sleeping in a soft bed of roses. The fragrance is lovely. Although I cannot give you a printout of the ingredients, I find it a delight as a shave balm. Fortunately the fragrance subsides quickly and does not interfere with the aftershave.
A little amount of it goes a long way, however. Still, the price is a bit steep. Although Trumper produces products of the highest quality, I feel they are overpriced all around. That's why, if the products are similar in some respects, I often reach for Taylor of Old Bond Street.

It's basically gussied-up Corn Huskers. Which is only like $2 a bottle.
+1 Thought it was great untill I read Liesureguy's book. Cornhuskers lotion, geez
I'm pretty sure the stuff's just glycerin. It's way to sticky for me.[/QUOT
+1 and i was at walmart today and saw a bottle of glycerin for i think $2.75...ahh that pink color must be really costly....

oh man...this is like shooting myself in the foot...I just posted two bottles for sale in the forum...
...especially seeing as how it seems to be floating a top all the other threads in the aftershaves section.
I've heard that Baxters ASB is similar as well. I have the Baxters (which I really like, although it smells like Fruit Loops) but not the Trumpers. Huge price difference. Of course, Corn Huskers is way cheaper than both....

I must agree, I use it mostly in the winter myself for the same reasons. It gives great protection in the dryer air of Winter.

is this concept of "sealer" new? I mean I have never heard of this thing before this...
I'm not sure how it works, but I find it protects my skin very well as a pre-shave.
I wasn't overly impressed with it as a aftershave balm, but I too like it as a preshave oil.
