I am fond of Arlington. Does anyone know how it compares to the newly introduced Windsor? Also, how about the shaving soap and shaving cream?

Nobody? The inquiring minds want to know!
I want the full set of either, so I'd like to know as well

They are different. Windsor is similar to Terre d'Hermes in scent. It is grapefruit/citrus, black pepper, vetiver. Arlington is also a citrus, but more of a fougere citrus...

Can anyone tell us about the Windsor Shaving Soap?
+1 Terre d' Hermes is exactly what came to my mind when I smelled my sample of Windsor. I don't know if you're familiar with TdH, but it's a very popular fragrance. I'm not a big fan of either one. Arlington on the other hand, I like. It reminds me just a bit of Acqua di Parma.... but maybe just a bit sweeter.... like a lemon drop. Anyway, I got my Windsor sample all excited and ended up not getting anything from that line. I could see myself getting the soap or cream someday, but I wasn't thrilled enough with the scent that I felt it was something that I had to have. I have everything from DRH Arlington and DRH Marlborough though (soap, cream, splash, cologne, AS milk).

Same outstanding performance as the rest of the range, with a scent as already described by Bill.

I really love the Windsor scent. I would describe it as traditional. It reminds me of the type of scent that was popular in 70's and 80's in the U.K. Something that I would have associated with my father as a child growing up. As always however, YMMV.

Windsor is a favourite scent of mine. The soap was excellent and I had bought the matching edt. I've used up both and will definitely purchase again...as soon as I whittle down my current inventory of other products.
DR Harris Windsor edt is a good "gentleman's" scent, IMO. It is pretty clean, masculine and is unoffensive in any environment. Not a very strong projection (which is a plus, for me), but strong enough to be noticed if anyone gets close enough.
Just my opinion.

Windsor is great scent, good combo of cedar, orange, vetiver/leather/spice. always enjoy the entire range.
Windsor is a heavier, more complex, more "masculine" scent (in that it has that musky sort of thing going on). While many compare it to Arlington, I have a hard time finding them very similar. Personally, I strongly prefer Arlington.
It does get a lot of love around here, so you ought to give it a try. A cheap way is to order up a sample of soap from Garry's or cream from Maggard's.

fully agree.
Arlington is more citrusy/fruity/sweeter.
Actually seems practically a copy of 4711.
But still, I like it also...
I'm thinking of getting both, but never really tried the Arlington line.
