    These videos are so fascinating to watch. As a londoner born and bread in Notting Hill it's wonderful these places still exist which is good too see.🇬🇧

      As a non britisher, I concure! Lol. Seriously, these "old world" services and products are still light years ahead of mass processed and produced things.

    Once again Tom, a brilliant video, but very short. I even sprayed some Arlington Cologne on before starting to watch it. What is your cologne of choice from D R Harris?

    Here in the States we have access to some of these products on Amazon, as well as a few online retailers. I have to say D.R. Harris has been my favorite shaving soap for many years now and I was excited to see you featuring it here in The Rake's channel! Well done!

    Due to silly US customs regulations, I can no longer purchase DS Harris sandalwood cologne as the product contains alcohol. Just imagine coming up with this restriction.
    That complaint filed, I do very much enjoy this series.

    I've been using DR Harris products for years and love to drop by the shop when I'm visiting London. My personal favorite is the Coconut Oil Shampoo and Cream Rinse with a nod to the Bay Rum Hair Tonic, but really all of their products are great

    That scene from Hugh has to be the most wonderful slice of acting ever.
    Lovely, lovely establishment. I did do a spot of dancing out tonight, fueled by a drink or two,
    hopefully not enough to need Jeeves in the morning, but he could wake me up any day,
    I'd be quite delighted.

    First discovered the D.R. Harris brand in 2019 on a trip back home to London where I had the Afternoon Tea Experience at Fortnum & Mason!! Bought a bottle of D.R. Harris "Arlington" cologne at Fortnum & Mason that was recommended by the sales associate and I've loved the brand every since!! Thanks for this vid!! You've earned a new subscriber!!
