Good review. I also love the D.R. Harris soaps. I have a Trumpers Violet and it is also very nice. LIke you, I tried the TOBS Sandalwood and then disposed of it. MWF takes some work to learn to lather, but once you have that down. It is great.

Nice review,
I love my D.R Harris Almond soap, and MWF lathers easily for me, and it's performance is just fantastic!

Agreed, great informative post.

A little goes a long way, but it stays close to the skin, and it lasts forever. You will NOT smell like anybody else, if you're looking for a unique scent. So complex, the undertone scents mix and change all day long, with the prominent rose always out front.

Ahhhhh--a glycerine soap with a wonderful, and soothing rich lather, and a great "Old School" barbershop scent! Originally Posted by loueedacat

Sorry to be the voice of disagreement guys, but I have the Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandelwood soap and have found it to be top notch. Lathers thick and rich and provides a nice comfortable shave for me. Now before everyone tries to say I'm completely off the mark (and I think comparing TOBS to Williams of all things is totally off the mark) I should point out that there are many factors in making the perfect lather; anything from water hardness to the individual technique of the lathermaker himself (or herself to be fair). I am usually in agreement with my fellow members, but not this time.

Hey, it's not a discussion until someone disagrees!
How do you like TOBS compared to DRH?
