Thanked: 3222My sole DR Harris soap, Arlington, is at least 3 years old. For me it has a nice enough scent and the performance is fine but for some reason I am not particularly bowled over by it. I wish I could put my finger on why that is exactly.

Thanked: 3222Just tried the Arlington for my mid day shave. Still feel kinda blah towards it even though it did a fine job. Who knows?

Technically speaking, this thread is about Windsor per se, but then again I did ask a general follow-up question on D R Harris soaps in general.
When I owned one, I do recall thinking to myself the lather was a bit thin compared to the likes of Tabac or Martin de Candre. Any thoughts on this?

I have the Windsor puck I bought last year and a 2 year old Arlington shave stick. I find it easier to get a nice lather using the stick. The puck takes more effort to get the lather thick which I chalk up to way the soap is applied, not a difference in the formula. I like the scent of both the Windsor and the Arlington, but the females I have asked prefer the Arlington. The same applies to the respective aftershave lotions.

I seem to always get nice, thick, yoghourty lather out of DR Harris, Martin de Candre, Tabac, and Mitchell Wool Fat. I would generally put these all together as representing top class soaps. I still think the DR Harris Almond is the best performing of the DR Harris line (and the scent really is great - very pleasant and mild).
