Geo. F. Trumper Coral Skin Food Aftershave Balm

Amazing rosepetal smell and great feel once its dried.

A very good moisturiser, not greasy and not a lot is required to do the job. It leaves my skin soft and smooth and I love the rose scent. Some might find it a bit "Grandma-esque", but I find the scent very relaxing and pleasant.

Great service as always.

I have always found it hard to find suitable after-shave products for sensitive skin, this works perfect!

I was interested how would you incorporate the rose scent into a male product. Very nicely I should say. My husband was a little surprised by the colour. However, he loves the scent and the texture

This is the best product I have ever purchased hands done. My skin would be highly irritated after shaving and this stuff and remove all of it. I have used this for years and will never change. I have recommended this to all my friends and is hands down the best after shave you will ever use. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I use this after shaving. I have returned to the coral version after using the eucris.(Whilst the eucris is good )I like the subtler fragrance offered here.

I've been buying this product for some time now. Great for my (aging) skin. The problem i have though is I have to hide it from my wife as she loves the smell and says it's great for her skin too!

This is my favourite after shave balm coupled with TOBS rose cream and Thayers Rose Witch Hazel its gives you great rose scented shaving experience. Scent doesn't last that long, gives excellent moisturizing feel to the skin. Highly recommend this if you aren't a fan of rose they have other scents. Their sandalwood is also quite nice.

I have tried other scents in the Gft skin food and i have come back to the Coral. The rose water scent has an old world sophistication that i really enjoy. It is gentle and calming with a simple silky texture that quickly disappears to leave your skin feeling rejeuventated and natural.

I got this to take my order up to the free shipping amount! But now I'm ordering it for its own sake. It's a great product and I've actually had compliments on my skin since I started using it. It has a nice fragrance, and leaves my skin feeling soft and happy.

I had been debating and mulling over in my head to buy this product or not. I bit the bullet and purchased the large container as it represents the best value for money.
It goes on well and once applied, soothes the skin and calms any irritation that you may get from shaving. The addition of the pump release makes getting the correct amount on your hand. I was a bit worried about the alcohol contained in the ingredients as I have super sensitive skin around my neck area. I applied it after my toner and you do not get that burn that the alcohol can give.
It really does soothe the skin and the scent is just wonderful. Highly recommend this product.

Its pink, its smell is a matter of personal taste. To me and my partner it smells great! 500ml with the pump dispenser will definitely last a long time. Its a no fuss face moisturiser and it is one of the best out there with no greasy feeling afterwards. Just go big and buy the 500ml

I find that GFT products are always worth it. The Coral Skin Food is no different, it has a fantastic scent (musk/rose water) and a small drop goes a long way leaving my skin feeling smooth and refreshed. I'll definitely be reordering this product in the future.

I had this originally in the GFT sample pack. I find it really great for the skin. A bit odd to use at first as it is not like other aftershave products in application. Don't have wet hands when you use this and you only need a small amount. It seems moist when applying then gets to a point where it becomes tacky. That's when you stop applying. It dries almost instantly after that leaving the skin feeling sealed and refreshed. I like the fragrance which is probably closer to a rose scent but I don't think it is feminine. If you are having doubts about the scent go the Sandalwood version. Excellent product.

Have found this product to be excellent for pre and post shave. The initial slick feel settles out nicely as does the scent. The gentle but complex rosewater based scent is relaxing on application but fades to nothing quickly enough that it doesn't clash with your cologne.

I'm not a fan of the scent, as can be seen from other reviewers you are either into it or not. Personally I think its a bit feminine.
As a soothing balm though its great, once I run out I will be trying the Sandalwood version

The scent isn't just rose - I think there's a subtle citrus element to it as well. Lovely scent, whatever it is.

Calms down razor burn nicely - more so than the lime or sandalwood versions, in my experience.

You only want to use a tiny amount - a dab the size of a 5 cent piece (AFTER the liquid has had a chance to settle and spread out - it's thick stuff. You don't want a whole stack of 5 cent pieces, that's too much).

If you use too much, your face will look and feel weird. If you use the right amount, it's fantastic stuff.

I received a sampler from NOAH and immediately fell in love with the scent.

There is a little burning experienced when using this after a shave, however, I found this completely disappeared when using an aftershave toner (like Thayers).

The scent is hard to describe. It smells like rose, but more like "Turkish Delight" as someone stated prior.

I have only ever used this as an aftershave balm, and it works fantastically! It leaves your face feeling fresh and smooth. If you're feeling "Sticky" its because your using too much product.

I use less than a 5c piece and thats more than enough, so you do get good milage out of this stuff! Yes, its pricey, but purchasing in a 500ml bottle works out way cheaper!

Highly recommend this stuff! Do yourself a favour and grab a bottle! Its well worth it!

Thanks again NOAH!

After purchasing a Geo F Trumper sampler pack from NOAH, I fell in love with the "Coral" skin food.

I just had to order this bottle! It will last for a good while given a little goes a LONG way!

Leaves my skin feeling nice and fresh, and most importantly smooth!

This stuff is expensive, but so worth it! IMHO this is by far the best after / pre shave balm I own! Fantastic! Highly recommend!

Thanks NOAH!

Reading the reviews, most people have used this as a post shave.. I have only used it so far as a pre-shave (came as a sample) and it works a treat!

Even with blades that normally would irritate and feel harsh on the skin, if I apply coral skin food 2 minutes before shaving and then apply shaving soap, the blades now just glide smoothly and don't irritate at all.

I'll definitively be ordering a 100ML tube now..

Cecu

A very nice product, I use it as an after shave balm, a little goes a long way and the scent is quite pleasant for a floral one. It doesn't linger too long.

Although my skin feels nice after applying this, it doesn't quite feel as moisturised as I'd hoped for. I did have a sample of the Lime Skin Food and that one seems to be slightly more oily and moisturising, so I think I will go with that one when my Coral runs out.

Other than that, a fine product from Trumpers.

Cured any issues I had with razor bumps and the scent is refreshing but fades quickly so doesn't clash with other products. Great gear.

I had my doubts about this product when I first opened the sample that I received with an order from Men'sBiz. The smell of Roses was not what I was expecting although the colour should have given it away. With a little hesitation I placed the smallest amount on the end of my finger and proceeded to rub it in to my freshly shaved face. The rose scent is not long lasting which is a bonus. The effect on freshly shaved skin is simply astounding. It has a very instant soothing affect and leaves your sking feeling like a million dollars. I'm still working my way through the tiny sample bottle. A little goes a long way. I actually prefer the Rose scented Coral to the Extract of Limes but I've got the Sandalwood on my list of future purchases as I am partial to the Sandalwood scent. An excellent product from GFT.

I used the Coral Skin Food as a post-shave balm. I'm not normally a fan of rose scented products but the rose scent is very light and the 'coral' scent is very refreshing. as soon as I applied it I knew that my skin loved it. soothing, rich & luxurious. it performs as well as any other post-shave balm I have ever used.
damn you Men's Biz..... another little sampler that has got me hooked!
