Shave of the Day - West Indian Extract of Limes

Geo. F. Trumper West Indian Extract of Lime and the Clauss New Departure Razor


It was a wonderful day to have a good shave. A good night’s rest works wonders for the outlook on a day. I had the desire to spice up and brighten the day go I chose Geo. F. Trumper West Indian Extract of Limes. On their web site it is described as follows:

“Bright green bursts of life-force charge from the tangy sharpness of tropical Limes, while vibrant citrus flashes allow a gentleman’s mind to surge with the majesty of life. And as every pore is infused with the zing and zest of freshly squeezed West Indian Limes, so an exhilarating thrill is marvelously bestowed.”

That description was what I was looking for on this day. I picked up my Clauss New Departure Razor and ran it across the strop several times preparing for the zest and zing of West Indian Extract of Limes. The brush I chose today is the Simpson Chubby 1 Super Badger Brush. It works well on the hard soaps. Soon I had a rich lather going. The soap had a light lime aroma. It was pleasing as I applied the later to my facial hair. I worked with the grain on my first pass and the facial hair came off quickly. For my second pass, it was more against the grain, as the razor slid on my skin removing what was left and leaving me with a smooth face.

I rinsed off my face and picked up the West Indian Extract of Limes Skin Food. It is a product that can be used as a pre shave preparation or an after shave. As I applied the Skin Food it provided a vibrant citrus flash in a pleasant way. For extra measure I applied the West Indian Extract of Limes Cologne, which is full of the zing and zest of freshly squeezed West Indian Limes.
