What's your take on Geo. F. Trumper creams? I don't see them used often.
- I bought one at first years ago. But even then, I was underwhelmed with the performance. Kinda like TOBS.
  
  I enjoyed the scents a lot, especially Rose. I haven't used them often enough to judge their performance yet.
- I may not like Trumper's and TOBS creams, much... however, I do like their sturdy tubs!
  
  Yeah, they remind me of Royal Mail mailboxes. Built to last 😄
- GFT creams aren't bad. I just killed a tube of Limes not too long ago. I'd say their performance is similar to the Proraso creams. I'll probably pick up another tube in the future.
  
  I sniffed Limes in the shop the other day, and I hesitated between it and Rose. I really like the scents: simple, maybe a bit old fashioned, pleasant.
- I have never used them but the name sounds like some kind of some made up mascot for the Nationa Geographic Kids magazine that I used to get as a kid.
- I have a couple of samples. The performance is fine, but not impressive.
  
  How did you like the scents?
