What's your take on Geo. F. Trumper creams? I don't see them used often.

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.
