    I have all of 3 T's and my fav is truefitt and hill. I really like the sandalwood and the 1805. Whips up nice and thick. Blade glides off

    The DR Harris Windsor is superb...very distinguished smelling. I'd imagine, if you were to go to a very nice English Barber shop, and have a shave, the DR Harris Windsor is what you'd smell. IMO, a very unique scent that I've found nothing really resembles. IOW's, you've got your sandalwoods, your lavenders, your florals, etc...but the Arlington stands on it's own in my opinion...now whether that's any good is up to you...YMMV.

    There is a seemingly infinite number of quality soaps and creams to try, tis only a matter of which to try first

    That's very true. Once you start down this path you have an entire lifetime to sample the best products the world has to offer. It's just that some of us get impatient and try to get them all at once

    I concur with some of the first few responders - IMHO Marlborough is a fantastic, light scent... but it has no sandalwood in it, only cedar wood. To my recollection, Eton College also has little sandalwood in its scent composition (hard to remember though - it was a long time ago).

    Of the 3 you specifically listed, that leaves T&H Trafalgar - IMHO also a fantastic scent. Definitely has sandalwood in it, but mixed with other scents as well. Nice woodsy, spicey fragrance without any overbearing sweetness behind it.

    All in all, Cobre's suggestion is a good one - for $10-$20 you can pick up over a dozen samples to get an idea of what you really like for committing to a full tub or tube of shaving cream...

    Truefitt & Hill samples can be gotten directly from Truefittandhill.com. You can also pick them up at place like The Shave Den Shop... and Garry's Sample Shop.

    Plus, extra/left-over sample packets/tubs are great for traveling.

    Good luck with your hunt and enjoy the journey!

    I haven't tried the others yet, but I use DR Harris Marlborough and man I love that scent. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who strays from the musky or wooden scents and prefers lighter or more citrus tones, but to those like me who enjoy something that makes you feel like you are deep in a cedar forest I'd give it a try. At the same time though I don't think it's overbearing.
    Took a while to learn to lather though, seems to need a lot of water. I might pick up the cologne. Haven't tried the other DR Harris soaps yet, but the Windsor sounds great as well.

    es I'm scent crazy!!! My wife says I'm outta control.
    I'm the same way..to be honest, the scent and lather experience is one of my favorite parts about wet shaving. Even the pure soap scents are great...like MWF (my fav over all), that scent can melt away the stress of a rough day in seconds.
