The Battle of the Best: Taylor of Old Bond Street vs D. R. Harris vs Geo. F. Trumper

When it comes to gentlemen's skin care, shaving and personal hygiene products, three exceptional grooming brands stand out above the rest. Taylor of Old Bond Street, D. R. Harris and Geo. F. Trumper are generally considered among the best in the business, and they all have a rich history that began in London's famous barber district more than a century ago. Each company offers a unique collection of products for discerning gentlemen. The products offered by these three companies have similarities and differences, but the one thing they have in common is dedication to quality.
Taylor of Old Bond Street has produced and sold a variety of grooming products especially created and formulated for men since 1854. Many of their offerings are tailor-made for the special needs of men with sensitive skin. Sensitive skin products by this company include Taylor of Bond Street Jermyn Street Aftershave for Sensitive Skin and Taylor of Bond Street Jermyn Street Shaving Cream for Sensitive Skin. When it comes to fragrance intensity, Taylor of Old Bond Street is situated squarely between D. R. Harris and Geo. F. Trumper. Their moderate scents include lavender, lime, sandalwood, almond and avocado. Taylor of Old Bond Street generally has lower prices compared to D. R. Harris and Geo. F. Trumper making their products good value overall.
D. 
R. Harris & Co. wins the prize for longevity. This family owned pharmacy has occupied the same London location for more than two centuries. They still make and package most of their products in London, England. Canada is fortunate to be able to import these exclusive handmade items to sell them to men who appreciate lightly scented grooming products. Some of their top-selling products include luxurious shaving soaps in refillable mahogany bowls. D. R. Harris has the lightest scents and most subdued color palettes of the three companies. Popular scents include coconut, almond, lemon and lavender. The lighter fragrances may appeal to men with sensitive skin and men who are bothered by strong scents. D. R. Harris is also known for having the thickest shaving cream among its competition.
Geo. F. Trumper has been producing high quality grooming products in England for more than a century. Since its inception in 1875, the company known as London's favorite barber has had a passion for excellence. Their products are characterized by stronger fragrances and brighter colors compared to Taylor of Old Bond Street and D. R. Harris. While these qualities make them bolder and more exciting, gentlemen with sensitive skin may choose to stay away from some of their products. However, the company does sell certain items that are gentle enough even for sensitive skin. For example, Geo. F. Trumper Shaving Cream in rose and their signature GFT scent are both great for sensitive skin. Geo. F. Trumper's impressive product line comprises a variety of heavily scented cologne, shaving creams, soaps, aftershave and more. The strong and heady aroma of limes, coconuts, almond oil, violets, roses and sandalwood infuses their various products. That makes Geo. F. Trumper the brand of choice for men who like bold and powerful fragrances.
