Dr. Harris or Trumpers?

DRH...especially for soaps, but it doesn't get quite the praise it probably deserves compared to the 3T's.
Harris for shaving soaps and aftershaves, Trumper's for creams, colognes and assorted bathing goodies.
trumpers for me coconut and rose coming up in second...

Both are highly regarded. Its just a matter of personal preference and maybe scent will sway your choice as each company differs in their selection. I have tried and liked Trumpers but now use Harris. I would not hesitate to try Trumpers if you like the scents they offer over Harris. No wrong choice here.
I haven't used Trumpers, but I can highly recommend the DR Harris Arlington SS and ASL.
I believe that the DR Harris SS is tallow-based, and that the Trumper's is glycerin-based, which alone may be enough of a difference to help you decide.

I must be something in the water, because I could not disagree with you more about the quality of the Harris lather, which I find similar in quality to MWF or Tabac -- that is, thick and slick.
Trumpers by a mile.
Trumpers has customer service and Harris, well, they have a royal warrant.

I've notices this as well... I've not been please with D.R. Harris, specific to customer service performance
Ya, I think there was a post about this. I have e-mailed Harris so many times about samples and have never even heard back once. I even offered to pay for the samples and postage. Still, no word.
I can only compare the soaps and I think they are performance wise the same.
As far as customer service goes I've never dealt with harris however trumpers? I ordered some items to be shipped to the U.S and was charged about $50 shipping for about a $100 order and after no goods a month later was specifically lied to about shipping methods and tracking. The order showed up after about 6 weeks and had been shipped the slowest possible method.

Out of curiosity, why did you not order from a US vendor?
Definitely a D.R. Harris guy. Love their shave soaps and their aftershaves are out of this world.
No offense, Matt, but I think the question is about which soap actually performs better, not which company is more willing to give its stuff out for free. (Sorry, but the whole idea that we should feel entitled to free samples is anathema to me. If a company gives them out, that's great, but I do not believe it is fair to chastise a company just because it does not).
Neil, I don't know if you saw the part about him (and me) offering repeatedly to PAY for samples without a response, but no one was asking them to give us anything. I think it's absurd for companies to expect to sell items without providing samples (whether complimentary or for a fee).
I didn't see the part about offering to pay for it, which obviously makes it a little different than what I understood, and certainly merits some comment.
It still doesn't change how the soap performs, which is how I interpreted the OP.
