UK artisan soap makers?

As usual, having decided upon a strict "replacement only" regime, various shaving soaps seem to be everlasting, but I've now come to the end of a couple.

That was my cue to jump in and try a Signature soap, of which I've heard many good things. Impressively quickly, a tub of Leodis arrived, and I've just had a first try of it.

I love the scent, and I think it must be the slickest and most luscious shaving soap I've ever used. With minimal water, in a shaving mug, it brushes on like a top-quality shaving cream, but add a bit more water and elbow-grease, and it swiftly whips up into meringue-style lather. It then leaves a very pleasant finish post-shave; "smooth and refreshed" covers it for me.

Superb all round, and I'm raring to try some of the other scents.

I also needed some regular soap, and ordered a bar of Cinnamon and Sweet Orange. This too makes most other bar soaps look, smell and feel like laundry soap, and the current handwashing recommendations are an excellent reason for using it often.

I agree on the regular soaps from Signature Soaps. Using a couple of them now and they're great. The foaming shower wash is very good as well.
 
I have just received two soaps from Brian at Signature Soaps, the unscented Goats milk and the lovely Lavender scented soap.
I have had the pleasure of using his soaps before on a pass around so I know they are of top quality and am looking forward to getting stuck into them.
I bought the 70g travel size tins which I think is a great idea to offer because it won't take forever to finish them and I can order again, the same or maybe other scents from his range. :) P.
 
Such a shame about OSP.
Their Barbershop is amazing. I also have orange & patchouli. The scent on that is a little too strong & sickly for me, but it performs brilliantly.
I would really have loved to try their other soaps.

P&B are great too. I love Trafalgar, Imperial Rum, Pall Mall & Sanskrit. All great scents and performers.

Sorry for late response, just found your post. Thank you so much for your feedback, genuinely it makes it all worthwhile.

Where have they gone? No sign since the lockdown
