D.R. Harris Windsor Shave Soap.
Interesting thing, in addition to Windsor I also have Arlington. Arlington is a great smelling soap on the other hand I can barely smell Windsor even though there were many write ups about all of the aromas you could detect in it. However, D.R. Harris in my opinion is one of the best performing British triple milled soaps I have used. I will take performance over fragrance any day. Others have said it has a great fragrance; could be a bad batch.

I used a soap again this morning that I made last week. I didn't think I would like it, but I seem to keep going back to my sample puck over and over for this one. It's a pretty basic tallow soap with a scent similar to what you would smell if you were running a weed whacker through a field of green grass, hay and wild flowers. Very grassy aroma with some floral notes. Probably not everybody's cup of tea, but really nice fragrance on a summer morning -- particularly since I have to go cut the grass anyway.
Cold water shave with Chiseled Face Cryogen (sample), emphasis on the CRY. Wow that was a cold shave! I like menthol, but I also like to be able to see while shaving. Quite the experience. I did have some trouble with it. It made a thin, bubbly lather. I think it has too much menthol thus effecting the lathering properties as I haven't had trouble with other CF soaps I've used. I actually added some Proraso cream to get a usable lather. The remainder of this sample will go into the trash bin...
