Testers wanted - not for Vegetarians

Being of a certain vintage whenever I hear or read the name " Ulysses " I think of the summer camp song dating from, I believe, the 1960s about the coach who doesn't want the boys to be cissies, so reads to them from something called Ulysses. As far as the shaving connection is concerned, I seem to recall that much of the first chapter is devoted to a wet shaver using a straight razor in a coastal watch tower. Though it's some decades since I last read the work.

I'd forgotten all about that, but you are indeed correct. The novel opens:

STATELY, PLUMP BUCK MULLIGAN CAME FROM THE STAIRHEAD, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed. A yellow dressing gown, ungirdled, was sustained gently-behind him by the mild morning air. He held the bowl aloft and intoned:

- Introibo ad altare Dei.



 
Shaved with Signature Neroli today. It smells very nice indeed. It - er - no longer - er - .... I mean, it's still very good but - er - let's put it this way, Sharon - were I you, I'd scale back on production of all your other shaving soaps and make mountains and mountains of Fat Ulysses - just enough of the others to satisfy your vegan market.

Had a wonderfully smooth and satisfying BBS shave with Signature.
 
Contrary to what I said yesterday, I took a one day pause of the pre-Ulysses soap. Today I used TOBS Coconut.

Hard to compare it to your soap, but the NSS leaves my face feeling a bit smoother, I think.

All good then so far. Better still, I think I've found a printer who can do the tins and so far appears to know how to read and understand what is being said, unlike the last one.
 
Bearing in mind that an Opus is a large scale artistic work or composition, how about " Opus 14 " for the new creation's name ? We're already up to 14 pages on this thread, or, alternatively, Opus whatever the final number of tweaked versions terminates at. And Big Bro B has already described the latest version in almost symphonic terms.

Opus and a nuuber makes naming future soaps easy enough! Soap makers being soap makers, there will be another soap - but t'ain't really necessary. Fat Ulysses is where it's at, man!
 
Opus 1 is another distinct possibility. I see how you felt the need to explain what that is @JohnnyO - guess it's because I admitted I couldn't plough through Ulysses.:rolleyes: I'm hoping if this printer works out and is as fast as promised, weekend after next we may be good to go.
