Some months back the shaving world was in sadness with OSP ending production of their wonderful creams and soaps. Who would fill their space and who was good enough to take over their mantle as the best home brewed shaving soap out there?
Step up a one man band (all four of the same individual person) from Bolton going under the name 'Signature Soaps'. The mutterings started surfacing and so I decided to purchase their (his?) Hibernian hybrid soap and see what lie behind these rumours.
In essence the best description would be croap which seems to cover a thousand sins not covered by cream and soap. I do like my croaps (ADP Gomez Extro etc) so right down my road.
Nicely packaged in a screw top tin (not the plastic tub on the website) with a nice label reminiscent of home made jams at a village fete. The contents? Almost chewable and with a most wonderful aroma. Whatever it said on the tin the scent was exactly that. Not an end mish mash, but each individual fragrance coming to the surface. Great start
Moist Cadman Tuxedo swirled around and the pick up was so easy. No blooming and no requirement from a visit to the gym to create the lather. Mixed in a bowl and within minutes a mass of rich creamy lather. The scent remained.
Applied to one's face and a real sense of quality and happening. Apply sharpened steel and a wonderful feeling of comfort, ease and that nice glide quality one looks for. Neither did it get absorbed by my skin as some lathers manage and it simply remained of the same quality.
One complete shave later and no dry patches, just one wonderful great shave and a knowledge this soap played a big part.
Amazingly the scent still lingered
I will whole heartily give a big thumbs up to this soap and as good as anything previous.
Brian has done a masterful job and a new company like this who care about their products deserve all the support they can be given. I for one will be purchasing more soon and I wish him all the best with his business adventure.
Fills that little niche left by OSP wonderfully
