Harris's Arlington

[Fuzzypeg]

Revisited Arlington today and was not in the least disappointed. The only thing I could fault was its price.

I have the Arlington AS and love it. Perfect when minimal scent projection is needed. My pew mates at Church aren't big on Bay Run!

Harris creams are good stuff. I like Marlborough too, seems to be a light, non-sweet sandalwood like AoS but much more delicate and refined.

For ages, I have been using Taylor's Grapefruit, which is very affordable and quite good, but there are loads of creams and potions I haven't tried, including Marlborough and Bay Rum. I don't use aftershaves, I use Eau de Toilette and always a Dior brew. I like creams to be citrussy, but I am broad-minded!

Thank you for reminding me of my Arlington gathering dust! Brought it out today for a very fine shave followed by the same balm. Super!

It is certainly a top-class one. A lot of them are rather boring and some have zero appeal to me, like Rose & Violet. I think the top came off a tub of Rose in my suitcase which was full of pink mess! I invariably return to a citrussy cream, but I am going to experiment with some quirky ones, such as Trumper's Spanish Leather.

D.R. Harris creams have always been very reliable, ime.
I also really like their Windsor scent.

And they really need to make a No.14 shaving cream and a/s!

I haven't encountered No 14 Moisture Cream. It sounds excellent.

DRH Arlington is a classic fruity cream! Great stuff!
Add on the aftershave and cologne!
Or shave bowl, stick, shower gel, deo, more!

I know what you mean; I attend a Nazarene Church.
Alcohol is verboten!
Not even a whiff.
Bless them all.

Dear gents,
I am a fan of DR Harris shaving cream.
How do you compare DR Harris with Trumpers, XPEC, Castle Forbes, and T&H?
Your inputs are highly appreciated.

T&H, GFT, DRH, TOBS, AoS, all used to be made by Creightons. But the last three are no longer made by said manufacturer.

That said, all of these creams perform similarly (very well).
There are a lot of great scents to choose from: Apsley, Windsor, Eucris, Spanish Leather, AoS Sandalwood, TOBS Coconut, St. James, Mr. Taylor's, Jermyn Street, etcetera.

Xpec and CF are considerably firmer (ala “croap”), vs the above-mentioned soft creams, ime.
(My preferred “croap,” is S.M. Novella, personally.)

I am working my way through them methodically. There are a lot, so it will take a while.
