After months of relentless propaganda over on the sub, I ordered this set of D. R. Harris Marlborough.

Warm and woodsy, this smells pleasant enough

I admit that I haven't been paying attention very much on the sub and haven't seen the Marlborough propaganda, but certainly the sub has its trends. I purposely avoided the Proraso Red train, but fell victim to the Mammoth Mafia. Then there are those who constantly promote Tabac 😉

One aspect of the D.R. Harris trend I like is that they sell 40g soap sticks. It's not a multi month commitment like a full tub

That is nice. Of course, I've gone in a completely different direction and decided I need a Floris 89 trifecta in my collection. The incentive is that I will have to live to 200 in order to kill all my soaps :)

I think Semaj over on the sub also has that trifecta. Sounds nice

Very old school, which seems fitting.
