D.R. Harris: 18th Century Grooming Secrets

The products themselves have been meticulously made and for a company as old as D.R. Harris, many of its best sellers are almost as old as the company itself. From that, we've curated a selection of items that are true to the old school. One example is the Sandalwood Shaving Soap which incurs a phenomenal lather thanks to it going through a triple milling process, which essentially means it tossed and turned to make a fine soap with the ingredients thoroughly mixed through. It comes in a mahogany bowl which is a nice, small decorative touch to your basin. Post-shave, we suggest going for the Arlington Aftershave Milk, which, as the name suggests has a milk antiseptic which nourishes and soothes the skin from those nicks and bumps caused from a razor blade. The shaving sets are a great addition to your armoury and the chrome razors take your standard Gillette Mach 3. If owning facial hair is your true calling, D.R. Harris’ range caters to that too, with its Windsor beard oil being world renowned due to a clever mix of Abyssinian oil, jojoba oil and vitamin E which nourish the hair follicles. The beard brush is particularly cool, too as it uses boar bristles and beechwood sourced from the Black Forest. Elsewhere, other products that should be added to your routine include the Head To Toe Windsor body wash that’s great for travelling and will keep you smelling fresh thanks to citrus, black pepper and vetiver notes. Once that's all out the way, banish the Colgate and say goodbye to their and get yourself some toothpaste that looks cool and grownup (and of course will leave your teeth feeling minty fresh). 

With the rise of the metrosexual who takes care of himself, the men’s grooming industry is now a multi-billion pound machine. However, 10 or 20 years ago, it most certainly wasn’t. Coinciding with that astronomical growth are countless new grooming brand’s all of which are competing against each other yet none with any real point of difference. Proudly standing strong and towering over them all is D. R. Harris, which has an unimpeachable history with Royal Warrants as its badges of honour and success. As such, there really isn’t another grooming brand out there that caters to all of a modern man’s needs. It doesn't fall under false pretences of offering state of the art nano technology repair systems bottled up in contemporary designed packaging. What it does have is real, natural materials taken from nature that have been tried and tested for centuries. The only one downside is that ‘Pick-Me-Up Hangover Cure’ elixir was discontinued, we could all do with that from time to time, couldn't we? Blame Oscar Wilde. Having said that, the soothing, bag-removing Crystal Eye Gel will help in that area...
