D R Harris is one of the oldest pharmacies in St. James’s and a large number of products are still being traditionally handmade in their London premises as they have done for over 200 years. This family-owned business holds a royal warrant to HRH The Prince of Wales.
They are renowned for their ranges of quality products for both men and women including soaps, colognes, bath and shaving preparations, skin care and aromatherapy oils.
As part of trying to find the best products suitable for An Aspiring Gent I have reviewed D R Harris’ Pink Aftershave, Aftershave Milk and Crystal Hair Gel.
I had heard a lot of good thing about DR Harris’ Pink Afterhave and it’s reputation was rightfully placed. When used after shaving it did not sting but still did a good job of closing the pores and soothing the skin. There is a subtle rose scent which I like very much. Pink Aftershave is available in three sizes 100ml (£18.95), 150ml (£25.95) and 500ml (£52.95).
Aftershave milk from D R Harris is a light moisturising cream that soothes after shaving. This product only uses natural ingredients and no alcohol so therefore does not sting when applied after shaving. I found that by using the Pink Aftershave first then the aftershave milk afterwards gave a loverly finish to a wet shave.
The aftershave milk is available in a 100ml dispenser bottle(£21.95), 100ml bottle(£18.95), 150ml bottle(£25.95), 500ml bottle(£53.95) it is also available scented with their Arlington fragrance.
I had never tried any sorts of hair creams before so was naturally quite interested in seeing how it would work. After using for a few weeks, the hair cream is a between hair gel and a leave in conditioner. The cream leaves one’s hair placed but not in a stiff way and not shiny, or appearing wet, or shiny. I like that, if after wearing a hat, my hair looked out of place I could just lightly wet my hair and restyle. Crystal hair cream is available in three sizes 100ml (£15.50), 150ml (£21.00) and 500ml (£43.50).
All of the D R Harris are beautifully packaged and there is a feeling of buying in to the history of St James’s, London.
