I finally got around to getting some DR Harris products (well, all of em):gaah:. Short story shorter... AOS ripped off DR Harris!!! This stuff smells EXACTLY like AOS Ocean Kelp. Anyone else have both of these?

Paul, which DR Harris scent are you referring to?
Arlington.Quote:

Ryan, It is exactly like AOS Ocean Kelp.
The Harris lathers great unlike the AOS. I will be gifting it away forthwith!!!

AoS was bought out by P&G a couple of years ago. No wonder they can't create anything original!!
I use the DR Harris products, they really are good. Top notch stuff. I have (among others) The Arlington shave cream in a tube. When it comes to citrus based soaps, you'll find many that are similar. Some try deliberately to change it up a bit, Take T&H Key West Lime, not your average lime, but with a hint of spice. It's one of those creams you either love or hate, like TOBS Avocado.
Oh, I like it. And I have many citrus based soaps, but this stuff is exactly like AOS Ocean Kelp in scent. If I were DR Harris , I'd be PO'd.
I have the Arlington soap and have used the AOS ocean kelp, but they don't smell the same, IMO. I think I actually like the Arlington scent better.
I put the cream side by side with friends yesterday and with eyes closed, nobody could tell them apart. Now the lather is hands down better with the DR!!!!Quote:

Im not sure why everyone has problems with the AOS Creams. Ive never had an issue with my AOS Lemon cream, actually its one of my favorite and sure it takes a bit of work but it provides a excellent lather everytime, i cant get enough of the scent... perhaps theres a better cheaper alternative that smells the same like the ocean kelp?
LOL there is!!! DR Harris and it has better lather IMHO.Quote:

I like the AOS Creams, as far as the aroma goes, I've never used the Ocean Kelp.Quote:

Your mileage just varied.Quote:
