    Gentlemen,
    Just as you will never go wrong with a Thater brush, you will always enjoy your shave with D.R. Harris products. Most of all, I fancy Arlington, Windsor, Marlborough and lavender. D.R. Harris soaps and creams excel in every element, from luxurious lather to fragrance. Good stuff.

    Let me be the lone voice of dissent then. The DR Harris Arlington soap that I have never gave me that warm soft feeling for it that most have. Not that it is a bad soap in that the scent is nice and the lather decent but takes a bit of work to lather up. OTH I have other hard soaps that have a nice scent and give a decent lather for less work and cost. That last two points makes DR Harris soap a bit over rated for me. Classic case of TMMV.

    Could it be possibly your had a bad batch?
    Myself, I have found that lathering with any soap or cream is a bit hit and miss. Definitely requires technique or luck..

    Could be but it also could be operator error on my part. I have been spoilt by using Van Der Lovett shave soaps the past few weeks that for me lather easily, all the scents have been nice, produces a very decent lather and are less expensive unless You can get DR Harris at a good sales price. I'll have to give DR Harris another go for a week's worth of shaves and see if my opinion changes.

    Bob, for me it takes a bit more effort too. I generally find that the longer I leave it to bloom the better the results. Even then I have to load up the brush for a good minute or so then really work the lather.
    Great stuff once I get there though.

    I also find they take a bit longer to build a good lather, but I find it's worth the effort. Blooming is key. So for me they are special occasion soaps, when I can really take my time with the entire process.

    I would add that DR Harris seems to be very efficient. This small sample is lasting a long time. I'm actually anxious to finish it so that I can try my new CBL Tonsorial 'Roasted Oatmeal Stout'. Made with Guiness !

    The soaps are solid but the creams are better.
