Hemingway has been a lifelong favorite author, and I love the scent of the cream and A/S, but the cream is just an average performer. The great looking containers are good enough for me. I'm waiting for someone to come out with a Steinbeck soap.

Oh, my. I haven't thought of Somerset Maugham in well over 40 years, but he was also on my list of favorite authors. I now have something to look forward to--rereading his books.

I don't think if they made an author soap named after Steven King it's go over too well

We may see in our lifetimes, instant classics like Marilyn Mansons "Antichrist Super Soap",

I'm waiting for a popular young band to latch onto classic wet shaving, and then the prices will go sky high... buy now and someday your blades will be worth a fortune!

I don't think Dr. Seuss would go over too well either......would you shave with green soap in a box with a fox?

Yes but I have the same name as the only true DR

The D.R. Harris lavender has a subtle flowery fragrance that does not intrude on the senses. I especially like this subtlety. This lavender scent is different, say, from the lavender in Castle Forbes, which is earthy and robust. Both are pleasing fragrances.

Gentlemen,

I had a $10-off invitation to purchase Hemingway shave soap and passed on it. I never was a fan of artisan soaps and creams, and as time goes on, I fancy them less and less.

Eventually, as I finish the crowd of soaps and creams in my shave den, I'll probably settle down with Martin de Candre, Castle Forbes, Baum.Be, D.R. Harris and Mitchell's Wool Fat. My face loves these products.

There is an abundance of top line shave soaps and creams already, legendary names, that, with couple exceptions, blow away artisan products. That's why I approach artisan products with caution; I've spent a fortune on them and come away disappointed.
