Dr Harris Lavender vs Geo F Trumper Rose

Which should I buy next?

I am interested in the scent which I'm sure is nice from both, but more about performance.

Thanks

They're both top rate, both in terms of performance and scent. Personally, I believe the Harris soaps have a slight edge over the Trumper soaps, but both are excellent. Scent wise, only you can really decide which one you prefer.

I agree with Gareth, except he missed out the all important phrase - "buy both".

Dominic is correct, of course.

I prefer to leave the enabling to those who are really good at it.

Oh, and I know it's not about scent, but Harris lavender is my favourite scent for soap of all the soaps I've sniffed.

But buy both.

I prefer the Harris by a slight margin, but both are excellent.

cream or soap?

I too give the edge, in terms of soap, to Harris lavender. Its scent is better; performance, too. Both are superb, but I use Harris lavender far more (so much so that I traded the Trumper).

I purchased both...and...like both.

but, the rose is powerfully scented. I like rose and find it heavy. I would say Harris is a lil mo better in performance.

Just need to decide which aftershave/cologne to use to complement it and it'll be with me by next pay day

Any suggestions?

Thanks

The rose by a mile. And remember this: girls like to use dandy and rake to do their legs

For my money, it's Harris Lavender. I used my Trumper Rose soap so infrequently, I traded it away.

I hadn't really thought about it but a quick check reveals I have twice as many cakes of Harris soaps than Trumpers so I guess that answers it for me. Tone to answer your question get both.

But what's the answer? This could mean that Harris is better because you decided to buy more, or it could mean that Trumpers is better because you started with just as much but used half of it already!

I'm a big fan of both Trumper and Harris soaps. When I first tried Harris soaps my Trumpers went unused for quite a while.

But, get both...

Squire · Post by **Squire** » Thu Oct 02, 2008 2:25 pm

The answer is I have intentionally purchased twice as many cakes of Harris as Trumpers.

Post by **ichabod** » Thu Oct 02, 2008 2:41 pm

I have less Harris than Trumper. Because there are less scents of Harris than Trumper.

Squire · Post by **Squire** » Thu Oct 02, 2008 3:08 pm

I have two each of lime, almond and sandalwood. And a dozen cakes of Harris.

I do like the scent of the Trumper Rose, lather and performance are great. Still, I prefer the Harris lavender.

Umm...well...let'see....I currently have four cakes of Trumpers and one of Harris's. So, obviously, I use the Trumpers more. Partly because some of the Harris's soaps don't seem entirely simpatico with my skin, or at least they haven't in the past. Which ever. They are both superlative shaving soaps.
