Trumper Extract of Limes Skin Food uses West Indian limes to produce a balm that is recommended for pre or post shave use.
Geo F Trumper describe the product thus “A versatile requisite of the grooming ritual, skin food is ideal before or after the shave. As a pre-shave for sensitive skin, massaging Trumper’s skin food against the growth of the beard lifts and softens the bristles in preparation. Its light non-oily glycerine based formula adds additional nourishment and protection to the skin, allowing the razor to glide with ease. By smoothing on Trumper’s skin food after a shave, the new tender skin is soothed, sealed and offered nourishing relief.”
