Best Lavender Options Part II: Soaps

**rickshah** · 01-13-2008, 07:17 PM

Hey Folks,

I wanted to break this up- one for creams, one for soaps... If I forgot one, let me know!

**crichton** · 01-13-2008, 07:21 PM

I'd be interested in this one as well - my experience with the lavender cream scared me from trying a soap, but I'd be willing to if one was recommended enough...

Eshave.

This is an easy one. DR Harris.

Quite so.

I disagree..... DR Harris is good - but T&H smells better and works better, and Eshave smells better and works better....

Well there is one other Lavender soap that smells better, It's not easy to get tho.

Wow- that must be some experience then.

If you're talking scent, Charles' lavender soap is like stuffing lavender flowers up your nose. And I mean that in the best possible way.

I've really got to pick up some DR Harris soap.

T&H. Love it.

Does the DR Harris soap smell like the cream?

**alabamalawyer** · 01-14-2008, 06:44 AM

I have tried Eshave and DR Harris. I pick the Harris on shave quality and eshave on scent. So does this vote even count?

I have a puck of AOS waiting in the wings.

Does the DR Harris soap smell like the cream?

The Harris Lavender does not have a strong lavender scent. It has a clean scent that doesn't really have much fragrance, if that makes any sense.

I have the eshave Mandarin and think it's a good soap, but I hardly ever reach for it. Is the Lavander any different performance-wise?

+1 on eShave.

Yeah - it's got shea butter. The diff scents are all formulated a little differently. The lavender and the avocado oil/linden are much better than the mandarin in my opinion.

I have the AOS, and it smells nothing like flowers...weird

**mozart** · 01-14-2008, 11:45 AM

Oh my, that reminds me of the gentleman who recently stated he will never touch anything lavender for fear of shrinking testicles and developing man boobs

Best - MM
