Who's got the best sandalwood

DR Harris
TOBS
Geo F Trumper
Truefitt & Hill

Can anyone recommend a sandalwood soap from this bunch? They'll all be good but I'd be leaning towards the dr harris because of the tallow although I'd go for scent over tallow with this one.

Sir Henry's Sandalwood. I know this is not on your list but I absolutely hated the smell of TOBS and have not tried the others. Picked this up off of Amazon and love it! I like stronger scents and this is quite strong with a woody smell which reminds me of a woodworking shop. It also has tallow which I prefer. Follow it up with Proraso sandalwood aftershave.

Lothur Grooming Lønny have a nice Sandalwood if you're looking for a true natural Indian Sandalwood scent.
Thanks, just had a quick butchers at it on their website. I know it's all very subjective this but there's a not so happy camper leaving a pretty scathing review of it :D, I'll mull it over, or just stick with that old stalwart- Proraso👍

Performance-wise, DR Harris Sandalwood can't be beat, with TOBS performance a close second. The key with GFT soaps (I prefer their Sandalwood soap scent to all the others) is to load with a damp brush, very heavily and much longer then you would a typical soap until you get a thick paste like proto-lather. Then slowly add tiny bits of water to your lather. Trust me once you dial this technique in, you'll be rewarded with an outstanding lather.
