So you don't consider Boycie's Used Soap Emporium a quality small UK enterprise worth supporting!?!?

It's 'Boycie's Used Soap Trading' (BUST)...if it was 'Boycie's Used Soap Emporium', then surely that would be aBUSE?
Anyway, the way I look at it is this: if you can afford a Rex Ambassador you don't need financial support!

Yes...I will buy a soap to support a small enterprise in the UK...ok...what should I look at?
Signature Soaps...what's the best?
Others?

I love Coria a beautiful scent reminds me of Mdc Rose but nicer and better balanced , if Citrus is your thing Caledonia and Hibernian are beautiful, another couple of gems for me are Vectis and Danum. I haven't had a bad one to be honest they are all top soaps !

Coria sounds good. I had a shave with Cyril R Salter's Wild Rose today...really nice. Is Coria similar/better?

Is the Coria a rose scent?

I've used 3 Signature Soaps, Coria is Rose & Geranium, Eboracum is Cedarwood & Peppermint, and Capra is unscented Goats Milk. The latter smells a bit earthy but the post shave is immense, the other two smell truly fantastic though and are pretty much the only two soaps with anything even vaguely resembling a scent I can use.

If you do get a shaving soap from them I'd refrain for a bit of time until their splashes are released. I have a Danum splash (Patchouli) which is my favourite post shave product, seems to settle down my face if I had a bad shave.

Yes, I'm going to take my time, but I've been considering a Signature Soap for some while now. I'll definitely buy one in the near future (@BrianH) and Coria sounds like the kind of thing I'd like.
 
If you want to try out some samples from @BrianH Signature Soaps range, head over to the pass around thread and request the soaps be sent on to you

Active - Signature soaps pass around

Since Brian sent very generous sample tubs and a few people didn't make the list to try, I will send out the two tubs I received for a pass around. Usual rules apply, stick your name down, try them out and post on to the next. These soaps are very nice and are getting good feedback in the Soap...

Just had a shave with the Coria - excellent stuff - I'll post in SOTD tomorrow. Thanks to @RussellR5555 for the initial suggestion and to @BrianH for the excellent customer service and 'Danum' surprise (y) And thanks all for your responses;):)

Vectis is top of my list of Signature soaps, definitely worth a try and +1 on the customer service from @BrianH. Top man.
