Ahhhhh! Ken, don’t leave us hangin’!

I also have been treated for a condition similar to this. I can’t remember exactly what it was called but I remember the dermatologist saying I had an infection in my scalp and I needed a topical antibiotic treatment to clear it up. He prescribed a gel that gets rubbed in the scalp and left there. Y...

Shawn, thank you very much. Most intriguing. I have a pot of the Coates Rose at home that bears the same marks and has the same consistency. I was going to use it this weekend to test it out but something stopped me. I had a sneaking feeling that I should await feedback from someone else on the foru...

Jim, I am a user of both the Almond and the Lavender Harris creams and the Almond has always been a lighter consistency cream than the Lavender. Nothing to be afraid of as it always lathers well. I've not tried the Arlington but the description of how it lathers is spot on with the other Harris crea...

Oh boy, looks like Coates may have been sold to Creighton's. The old pots did not say this on the bottom, they read "Coates Made in England". Has anyone noticed the consistency of the new creams? If so how would you describe it?

Chris

The almond has the lightest texture and an almost whipped appearance. UH OH!! -Dan This doesn't make me raise an eyebrow as Jim indicated that it performed as well as the Arlington. Clearly the Marlborough is a newer type of product. Whether or not it's formulation is intended state for the other c...

Ah Gordon, you beat me to the punch!

Chris

Shawn, did you purchase any?

Chris

Dr. Moss,

A very good read, sir. I enjoyed it immensely.

Chris

Personally I would not. This is especially true of a product so cheaply obtained locally.

Chris

So who is going to step up and try the new Harris Marlborough cream and let us know if that's been reformulated as well?

Chris

Congratulations Mo!

Chris

I know this is a late entry but I'd vote for the Thiers Issard 6/8. It's the Cadillac of razors IMHO and takes a very comfortable hair splitting edge. If you don't get it now then do put it on your "must have" list.

Good luck!

Chris

Well, I guess the secret's out. I've been using my BK12 to whip up lather from everything including the Woofat. If you think it works well with soaps try it with creams. Experiment a little and you'll eventually find it generates one of the finest lathers with anything. I've tried a lot of brushes a...

Robert,

Thank you so much! I will check them out.

Chris

Art of Shaving has opened a lovely establishment.. Luxury shaves by appointment. . Ron, they did? where in the mall is it? I'm going to have to stroll the length of it soon to see what has opened recently. On an almost as serious a topic, any "Steve's Prince of Steaks" makes a GREAT chees...

Hello Robert,

Thanks for the update! Does this mean that you have a fresh shipment of the new repackaged Harris products? If so do all the shaving cream tubs look like this?

Chris

In 1890, Trumper's was a very modern 'company' and their formulations were then top notch. And who was buying and visiting Trumpers back then? The homo/metrosexual dandy, most gentlemen didn't use any cologne in those days. So, it's no more than logical their target audience in these days is the ur...

Andrew I have no problem with synthetic compounds. We use Mobil 1 in our high end cars. Excellent stuff isn't it? It's all I use it in my vehicles. Now back to the topic. There's nothing wrong with DS colognes they are a different sort of concoction. The quality of traditional cologes is in how the...

Hmm, the Nordstroms in KOP was fully stocked with AOS soap last time I was there at the end of May to pick up the Trumper's Limes in the mall. I looked at their website right after I read your post and they're there right under "Shaving Products" just like their creams. They're also touted...
