Geo. F. Trumper Limes Skin Food Aftershave Balm

Help me for shaving,before and after!

My partner loves this, great on the skin and divine smell.

Never used a pre shave moisturiser before. This stuff is brilliant. Combined it with Lucky Tiger Cream Shave and got the closest shave I've ever had. Great for a post shave refresh too. Smells like summer. You only need to use a tiny amount so the bottle will last for ages. Great value in that context.

I tried a sample of this skin food not too long ago and was blown away! The formula is refreshing and zesty, a really great way to finish a shave. I love citrus so this was a no brainer. Strongly recommend to all!

Using the Limes Skin Food after shaving is just sensational. For the perfect shave its the way to go!

Makes the skin feel great & good cooling affect after a shave

I use this as a both a pre-shave and post-shave and can't imagine having a shave without it. Only just finished off my last 500ml bottle of Sandalwood Skin Food, and like that one, I expect this bottle to last months.

I use this product as a pre-shave lubricant to protect my skin and then again post shave to moisturise. You only need a tiny amount for the whole face, so this bottle lasts for ages. It also compliments the Limes shaving creme.

I have tried other after shave balms but this one is the best. The scent is subtle but refreshing.
It is also great value as you dont need much product to achieve an all over cover.

Love this product. Well worth the purchase

first time purchase leaves skin feeling smooth and invigorated very little product required

This stuff goes alright, smells awesome & leaves the skin feeling tops. The 500ml will last a bloody eternity & that's fine with me. My battered old face feels pretty good after a shave these days. GFT is quality & so I'm about to try the sandalwood skin food too. I never got any samples of these particular products but the multitude of 5 star ratings convinced me to give it a crack. The majority of Men's Biz customers are spot on I'd say. Keep up the good work you blokes.

My favourite skin food. The scent makes my mouth water, and the consistency is a little thinner than Sandalwood or Coral making it perfect for the warmer months when you want something light on your face. Other proper aftershave balms do more for my skin if I've had a rough shave, but this is the perfect touch after a good shave in Summer. Plus it lasts forever, so don't let the price discourage you.

First, a warning. The formula has changed in the year since I last bought this product, and the ingredients no longer match the list on the Men's Biz site. A new addition is lemon peel oil, and the overall fragrance is now predominantly lemon with a hint of lime, instead of the lime and rosewater fragrance of the old formula. There is also a slight burn when applying after shaving, which didn't happen with the old formula; whether it's from increased alcoholic content or the acidic nature of lemon oil I don't know.

Having said that, after a few days getting used to the new formula I really like it. It's pleasantly astringent and once the burn subsides very soothing on freshly shaved skin. I'd still recommend it despite the changes.

Great lime scent to it, love how versatile it is, being a Pre-shave and after shave. Small amount is needed, and 1-2 minutes on your beard is all that it needs to fatten it up for the blade.

As an after shave, it's gel based, so it's great for those with slightly oilier skin. I mainly use it as a pre-shave.

I'm a big fan of Trumper's cream so I thought I'd give this a try.
It has a nice scent for a few moments but doesn't last. A very small amount is all that's needed for the whole face and neck so this small bottle will last a long time.
No burning as it goes on, and leaves the skin feeling smooth and fresh.
For me, it won't replace a good balm, but it's a nice citrus bonus now and then.

I highly recommend. The liquid if thinner than some of the the other skin food range and a little bit does go along way. I use as an after shave balm as I have found that it is not the best pre-shave treatment that Men's Biz offer.

Love this after shave balm. Smells great initially but doesn't linger. Goes on easy and dries quick. Not greasy or oily. No alcohol so doesn't sting.

I first heard about this product when I got a small sample of it with an order I made over a year ago. My skin just soaked it up and it left my face feeling fresh and moisturised. I went and bought a 100ml bottle and I use it religiously after every shave - both as a post-shave balm and I found I could also use it to shave in the rough spots and get a closer shave. I love the smell of the limes (though it doesn't last long enough for my liking) - and so when my 100ml bottle ran out I was quick to replace it with the 500ml bottle. This bottle is huge, so I don't see myself running out any time soon - and I've kept both the 100ml bottle (for daily use) and the original sampler bottle so I can use it when travelling.

This product is a must for me.
I like to use it as a pre shave oil, and then a post shave balm in conjunction with an after shave moisturiser.
It absorbs into the skin quickly leaving it feel refreshed.
The smell of lime is refreshing first thing in the morning and the feel on my skin is great.
I have tried all the Trumpers skin food range, and like them all, but probably prefer the lime just for the fresh feeling the smell provides.

I have very sensitive skin and I read plenty of reviews before buying this product, as most of them were claiming that it's the best one. Not disappointed.

I found the smell pleasant but prefer the sandal wood sampler.

The skin food absorbs well and does not leave a greasy feel.

Although for my skin I would have liked a little more moisturising action.

I've never used a pre-shave before and received a sample of this with one of my orders.

It's great and really softens the beard growth. Smells great too!

I received a sample of this with an order [who doesn't like free stuff?] and had a crack. I was quite pleased with the scent and feeling it left on my face after a shave. It does seem to cut down on post shave irritation, which I used to suffer quite badly.

Prepares the skin for a shave, makes you smell great, calms the skin after a shave, and you still smell great! A definite must buy. Doesn't sting like Trumper's Coral skin food, which is a definite plus for me.

I got a review sampler of this in one of my previous orders. I have pretty dry skin, especially around my nose and upper lip. It gets very dry and flakey if I don't moisturise the area well. Most cremes I've tried don't work, and so I've been using a Jojoba oil mix up until now which has worked well, but is oil based. I tried using the sampler of this instead and found it moisturised just as much and didn't leave my skin with that oil slick feeling afterwards. The smell of the limes is great - though unlike others here I'd prefer if it stuck around for a bit longer as I love that smell. After seeing how well this worked I've gone ahead and bought a larger bottle and love it.

After getting a small sample of the Coral (pink) version of this and being amazed how good it was i elected to purchase a full bottle. I picked this as i like lime better then the Rose coral smelling one, the smell is better but this doesn't seem as thick as the sample coral and as such not quite as good.

It is still effective but i seem to use a little more then the coral and in future i would probably buy the coral version even though i prefer the scent of this one.

Love this product. Tried smmples of all GFT Skin Foods and while they are all nice, this was definitely top of the list for me. Have not used this pre shave, but will give it a go like others have here. 100ml will last for ages too.

After reading various reviews I decided to take the plunge and buy this. Mensbiz then kindly provided a sample with my order so I haven't yet started using my purchased bottle - I'm still on the sample which looks like it will last for quite a while.
As there are absolutely no instructions about how to use it you need to use trial an error to find what suits you. I run a very small amount into my face and allow it to absorb before lathering up with my usual shaving cream. The result is fantastic a silky smooth shave with absolutely no drag or irritation. It seems to work very well with all the shaving creams I've tried - makes even a less than great cream work very well.
I have also found that rubbing a small amount into the face after shaving and rinsing gives a very pleasant soothing effect. It quickly absorbs with no greasiness and leaves the skin feeling great.
It has now replaced my much loved Truefit & Hill Ultimate PreShave Oil in my regular shaving routine.

I've tried four pre shave oils now - Gentleman's Refinery, Trufitt & Hill pre-shave oil, Geo F Trumper Limes and Dr Harris. This beats all of them hands down, just pipping Truffit & Hills oil in terms of feel and performance. Outstanding cushioning, sophisticated but subtle fragrance, easy to use pump dispenser. It makes shaving a joy, and a DE razor will glide across your skin like never before with this as a base layer

I apply this straight out of a hot shower, rubbing against the grain to get the hairs to stand up, followed by lathering. My first pass WTG feels noticeably smoother and cuts closer, so it works. Like the previous reviewer said, love the scent but it fades very quickly. This product isn't oily. In fact it leaves your skin moist and slightly tacky. You only need to use a tiny bit (size of a 5 cent piece) each time. Great stuff!
