Actually, I think you'll find it's ancient Greek and means suitable for vegetarians and vegans, in a chicken and fish eating sort of way.

Received my Russian Leather soap today. Had a quick sniff, definitely Imperial Leather with a hint of some citrus, and I get a bit of Spice Trade in there as well. Really nice, and well balanced scent overall.

Are all preorders shipped @Fox?
All of Connaghts have shipped, I have shipped 3/4 of mine. The printing company has held me up with the scent labels to complete the Russian Leather 1912's. I have been on the telephone to him today and have paid him extra to send them to me by courier over night. I'm told I will receive them first thing in the morning upon which I will apply them and get down to the post office sharpish to post them on. You will receive the confirmation email once this is done.
Very sorry for this happening.

I feel like a boom! boom! at the moment. No I liked Basil Brush as a kid but my avatar has been with me since I joined the forum. Oddly I did have this designed, (below) but decided to use it for another project instead.Can I request that Darron changes his avatar to:

Band of Brothers! I don't normally watch much TV but when I caught this I was hooked, really enjoyed it. Fast pace, full of action and wit. I ended up buying the box set and watching it again, which is not like me at all. Great avatar!
I will send a confirmation hopefully tomorrow morning. Thanks for being understanding.

Tried 1912 this morning. I could tell from the moment mt brush touched the soap that this was going to be a good one! It was - so very good!
My brush looked fully loaded before it actually was so I had to swirl a few times between 2nd and 3rd pass. Lovely, luxurious, rich lather. A triumph, Darron! Love it!

Had my own first go with 1912 this morning. 'twas the Russian Leather variety. The scent is great. I was a bit disappointed at first as I could smell nothing much from the dry soap but the scent sprung to life when wet, and is as near the original inspiration as makes no difference. I think the soap needs a little more swirling in the tin than the original Super Smooth which is unsurprising since it is harder. I worked on through the first eruption of light, frothy proto-lather and soon had a brush full of thick and creamy soap which face lathered superbly with a bit more water than many soaps.
Another winner Darron!
