What the deuce? Ahhh yes... D.R. Harris.
We were greeted by a very nice lady and a young gentleman who were very helpful. As a few of you might know I'm quite fond of hair dressings and I was expecting this shop to be filled with them. I was not too far off.
As D.R. Harris are chemists they also have some non prescipt. medicine and such, colognes by Guerlain and a few other unusual items. The unusual items they had, that are not available elsewhere, is their very nice Brilliantine with the scent(discretely) of spicy oranges(themed on EdP) of which I procured a bottle.
As they no longer make their own mouthwash or the famous hangover "cure", I found a bottle of another mouthwash that I must say really tastes great.
The Eau de Portugal by D.R. Harris is really fantastic. The Bay Rum had a very nice scent as well but I couldn't very well purchase that as well. I wouldn't have been able to purchase a bottle of this old gem.
This was the very last bottle in store and stock anywhere.
Not that I have any larger problems with dandruff... well not at least since I started with dressings, but this stuff is very effective but the scent is really horrible. Sulphuric and *bleh*. Then again, it has a few years on it's neck, as if you can see clearly it has only the seal of the Queen and D.R. Harris as I know have not had that seal solely for at least a decade.
I bought a box of their Almond Oil bathsoap. Incidently, it smells fantastic and it's still tallow(Tallow is the first ingredient).
My experiance of this shop was fantastic. The level of service was something you could only long for in shops that don't even come near this level in Sweden. My girlfriend liked this shop as well. While the young gentleman was tending to me, the lady at the store was assisting my girlfriend with Guerlain and their own colognes. She came out of the shop with a bottle of the "Rose Geranium" bathoil and a bottle of their "Mayfair" cologne.
The time was now about 13.00 and my appointment at T&H for my shave was not until 14.30. I saw a sign to a pub just around the corner to T&H and stopped there for some Fish and Chips. The best Fish and Chips I've ever had. If I only could remember the name of the place. Very nice girl who waitered our table. She thought I look like a college professor. That was the fourth time a young girl in London told me I looked like a college professor. Not that there is anything bad about it, it just amused me.
Expect me when you see me.
