Unusual issue with Trumpers skin food

danb · 07-04-2008, 04:15 AM

So, I've grown to love using Trumpers limes skin food on after a shave, yet have a newly discovered issue. My girlfriend recently mentioned to me that, and this is no joke, "sometimes, your face tastes funny, when you've shaved." I happened to have the skin food with me, and when we unwisely tasted a miniscule drop, she identified it as the offending taste.

Has anyone else had a similar issue with any aftershave? And does anyone have any suggestions?

Suggestions??? Try not to eat it and I think you'll be okay.

I'd think that all aftershaves and colognes would have a somewhat unpleasant taste, for the record.

Good luck, Danb.

IT might be called skin food, but that doesnt mean to eat it!!

Yes wait till you've been married 28 years then no one will be tasting your face

I drink Old Spice every once in a while, gets me kinda woosey and makes me feel like a ship!

My four year old wouldn't let me kiss her on the face for a while after she planted one on my face and tasted some aftershavebalm. That made me so selfconscious I tend to stick to alcohol/witch hazel after shaves now [which has been facilitated by the fact that I've gotten better at straight razor shaving and don't filet myself like I used to].

So I would say balms/skinfoods are not good in the attracting female attention department.

Cheers to driver/examiner! Three sheets to the wind! YO HO and a bottle of....what?

You remind me of the guy I used to know that would take a sixpack of Nyquil to work!

Ditto, This is what I have used for years and love it.

Well I have now gone back to using the Skin Food, unfortunately my girlfriend solved the issue for me...by breaking up with me.

loueedacat · 07-27-2008, 11:52 PM

Fair trade?

onimaru55 · 07-28-2008, 03:25 AM

I can top that.

Mine broke up with me because I slept on her side of the bed one night.

Hey this could be a thread on its own. "The silliest reasons for breaking up with someone"

Sorry man, just kidding.

Good Morning Gentlemen,

Just because I don't have an Aftershave on the table yet, doesn't mean I'm not paying attention. Now....I found this thread to be quite interesting!

Considering the difference between Aftershave ( for face ) or a light Cologne......for face/body scent and their proper placement would indeed come into foreplay....

...chuckle...... but I didn't realize that Aftershave would stay on the skin for such a long period of time.

Hmmm......Which must be because most of the men I've known in my life have had beards........and as I write this I've come to the immediate conclusion that there is a hidden psychological reason buried deep within my psyche for my love of straight razors.....

Aftershave taste on skin duly noted!

If skin food does for me what she did, I'd never stop using it : )

I have just used Trumper's Lime Skin Food for the first time. I am very impressed with both the product & its scent. Silver likes the smell but declined to try the taste...

Silver · 08-04-2008, 10:26 AM

Not really being into face licking I decided why bother?!

Spike did have a gloriously smooth face after using the skin food though, had me purring like a kitten in no time.

Sorry about the GF Danb I'm sure there are plenty more potentials out there for you.

danb · 08-05-2008, 05:23 AM

thanks guys, gals, and anyone else...haha. I appreciate the well wishing, the jokes, and everything in between. The issue was really because Im of the , don't shave until right before going to see a girl, hence aftershave was put on very close to when said face was potentially licked/kissed.
