I picked up a tub of Harris Marlborough and some TOBS Mr Taylor off BST a month or so ago and got around to using them this weekend. They seemed fairly hard and not the consistency that i was assuming they would be. I have T&H Trafalgar and Grafton, are they supposed to be creamy like those or kind of hard? They lathered just fine although the chunk of cream i put into my bowl acted like i had taken to large a chunk of like P.160 and it never wore completely down.
