Do you know what a jobby is north of the border Stig? Is it the same word down south?

Love the Truefitt & Hill stuff, some TOBS and, of course, Proraso.
But I want a soap (and bowl) to try out.
I love the old fashioned shaving shop smells - so 1805, Mr Taylor's, TOBS Shaving Shop etc.
Can you recommend me a good starting soap?
I use a very soft T&H Wellington badger brush and really don't want to invest in another if I don't absolutely have to.
Thanks chaps, your help and expertise will be much appreciated as always.
Adam.

Being a fan of T&H 1805, I bought the soap in the little wooden bowl. It is delightful. Such an evocative smell! I used to use the cream but fancied a more traditional approach. You won't regret buying it!
I use a TOBS extra large (S41) silvertip/best brush and I cannot seem to find a really big bowl to lather up in.
I can heartily recommend the soap but you can't really get a good lather on the wooden bowl.
Right now I'm using a plain glass kitchen bowl but it gets very slippery and I need something with a handle.
The EJ ones just look too small for such a huge brush.
Suggestions would be welcome (I'm not trying to hijack the thread though so please feel free to tell me to start a new one!)
