A Close Shave
Get close

While you might have been using a scabby, old Bic since puberty, it's about time you brushed up on your grooming skills. With an unrivalled knowledge of shaving, Trumper offers a traditional wet shave with an open razor while running a "shaving school" where gentlemen are taught one-to-one the best technique for their skin and choice of razor.

Thanks to that over-styled clown Beckham, many of Trumper's clients have become aware of the benefits of facial cleanser, manicure and pedicure. Trumper thankfully offers all these services, so you wont have to slink out of the local beauty salon. With their choice of over twenty colognes, and a wide range of gentlemen's grooming products and accessories, this is the perfect place to pick up a Christmas prezzie for the fastidious gentleman in your life.
