Floris/Dr Harris/F Trumper Shave Soaps

Does it even lather Chris?

I refer you to the end of my post "it still performs like a champ." Triple milled soaps like Harris have a very low moisture content so they last a long time.

You’ll enjoy it, for sure. Which scent will you choose? I’ve tried them all. Their performance is top shelf.

I had Windsor, just an ok scent. But I smelled the Marlborough then and I loved it.

I’ve tried Geo F Trumper’s Eucris, Sandalwood, Almond, and GFT creams. They’re all excellent.

Eucris was my favorite, recently finished. Tempted to try Spanish leather or Rose next.

Spanish Leather by Trumper’s is a divine shaving cream - really top drawer for me. I adore rise scents too.

I love Harris Windsor but Marlboro I found cloying after initially liking it. I should qualify these remarks by saying it was the colognes I was sampling.

This was my experience also. Marlborough is a favorite for colder weather, while Arlington is the same for warmer weather. The matching aftershave splashes are equally enjoyable. Have you tried them?
Re: the DRH soaps, 1, I think the DRH sandalwood and lavender are smooth and unassuming but tbh I prefer Proraso and Salter versions of those scents. 2, while Harris has a softer touch with the scents, there’s something I find appealing about the sharper approach taken by Proraso and Salter.
ymmv

No, the splashes were expensive. LAVENDER yes! Very nice.

A little off track with the thread but if you like Lavender, then maybe look at Dr Selby. I know not part of this thread but very much in the style of the soaps above and a touch cheaper.

I have a (once used) bottle of Harris lavender water with your name on it next time either of us crosses the pond. Keep in touch.
