Trumper opened in Curzon Street in 1875 and the firm still cuts hair and gives wet shaves in individual mahogany booths, which is a survival rather than a revival. The shaving creams, skin foods and colognes are its own.

Extract of Limes and Ajaccio Violets are the famous two. Both shops are worth going into whether or not you want a shave.
