Thread: New Floris 89 and Elite formulation - Yuk!!!

The older English hard soaps used to be quite good. Many if not most were reformulated a few years ago and most suffered quality problems from minor to extreme. DR Harris is an exception. Some brands fixed them and some did not. Some fixed them several times - lol.

In English products the safe bet is the cream, especially nice since most English brands offer both a soap and a cream in the same scent.

Cheers, Steve

If yours is better, it should be interesting to compare the ingredients of both versions.

I know Creightons make cream for T&H, Trumpers, Taylors of old bond street and St James of London amongst others. I wonder if they make the soaps aswell? It seems odd that all the creams are great and all the soaps are pants.

The best rose scent out there - worth every penny!

Thanks.

I'll keep that in mind for the next order.
