Mini-Review - Signature Soaps Hibernia
The second soap from Signature Soaps that I have now tried. The soap texture is more a soft 'croap' - of similar texture to Declaration Grooming soaps.
The scent is fresh and delightful - the main notes I detect are lemongrass and citrus; looking up the details on the maker's website, I see that the scent is comprised of Lime, Lemon, Lemongrass, Sweet Orange and Lavender Essential Oils. The scent strength is mid from the container, and remains mid-strength throughout the shave.
As with the previous Signature soap that I tried, Hibernia is very easy to lather and reach correct shaving hydration levels. The soap has a very good lather yield per soap mass - I probably had enough lather for 5 passes from an almond-sized blob of soap. The cushioning and slickness were pretty good, but for some reason not as stellar as the previous Signature Soap I used. Maybe natural variation or the Shaving Gods were not with me? I guess further use will tell the tale. The post-shave feel was very good.
In summary, I liked this product and would consider purchasing it. It has a glorious scent, is very easy to lather, is a good performer, and has a very nice post-shave feel. I will test it a few more times to confirm performance characteristics.
Keep up the good work, @BrianH.
