Matt here for another vintage straight razor Daily Shave video and straight razor tip.
The Soap: D. R. Harris Arlington.
D. R. Harris and Co. Ltd. is the H of TTTH (Truefitt, Trumper, and TOBS), the old school traditional English shaving soaps, and is my personal favorite of the four. The hard tallow based puck produces a high structured peaky lather that resembles whipped egg whites. The scent on Arlington is a mild 4/10 strength citrus forward elegant traditional cologne type scent.
The Brush: Simpsons Polo 8 in super badger. This brush is a great combination of plush and scrub. The tall classic looking Polo handle is solid and comfortable. The 25mm knot is dense but splays easily and feels wonderful building a lather on the face.
The Razor: 1950’s Klas Tornblum 4/8 full hollow with replacement scales. The Swedish steel can hold a sharp edge for a long time. The small format razor is light and maneuverable and cruises around the face.
The Aftershave: D.R. Harris Arlington. The box reads, “ A classic English aftershave for gentlemen.” Yes, that sums it up well. The scent is the same as the soap but with added menthol. The splash has a nice cooling face feel from the menthol and glycerin. The scent stays close to the skin and lasts on my skin for about 3 hours. This mass appealing classy scent is perfect for the office or close quarters when you don’t want to offend.
