Thread: TOBS, Truefitt & Hill, or D.R. Harris???

With D.R. Harris Marlborough I smell more sandalwood than cedar. I am still trying to figure out Truefitt & Hill Trafalgar. I can say it is the most masculine-scented product in my shaving arsenal.

I like the trafalgar. But the sandalwood is my fav in the truefitt arsenal

It is very difficult to buy a soap without being able to smell it. The preference in perfume is something personal. In the shaving shop, where I try not to go to often, I can smell different the different soaps. For me, that is very important, not because I'm picky or very difficult(as some in my family claim) but I'm a very smell sensitive person. IMo a good reason to own a few and keep them in rotation not to dull he smell of just one soap
I would like a soap from MDC as well, but I think it will result in a trip to their shop in France.

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.

I agee, I'm a DR Harris Windsor fan as well. I smelled them all and it appealed the most to me, just close my eyes when smelling it and feeling uber gentlemanly, ready to travel back in time


Maybe it's an idea to look for someone near you, who has different soaps and is willing to let you smell or maybe even try them?

That's funny, I find marlborough smells almost like....nothing!

Personally, I like DR Harris Arlington cream. Smells clean and refreshing, but doesn't linger post-shave....shaves great, with a nice glide....alittle goes a long way. Let's you follow up with a different aftershave.

Dr Harris by a long shot. I prefer soaps over creams due to superior performance.

This is the ultimate YMMV issue!

Not when it comes to DR Harris. Just kidding.

I like TOB Eaton College. Pure badger brush, and 3 drops of glycerin. Now if i could figure out a way to get that to work in a hot lather machine it would be pretty close to HEAVEN.
