An enjoyable tidy up shave today, the SS Coria is one of the most enjoyable scents in shaving I have encountered.
Thank you so much for your feedback, I'll nick the fabulous photo for my Instagram!Signature Soaps Triple
I've only shaved every few days over the last week or so and used recently acquired Signature Soaps each time:
Same shaving setup for each shave:
- Hibernia (Lime, Lemon, Lemongrass, Sweet Orange and Lavender)
- Vectis (Grapefruit, Frankincense and Lavender)
- Eboracum (Cedarwood and Peppermint)
All the soaps performed excellently, lathered very quickly and provided very nice, smooth and irritation-free shaves. The only noticeable difference was the fragrance. Again, each was marvellous in its own way. I don't know what @BrianH does to achieve it, but his soaps all seem to have fragrances that are subtle but at the same time make themselves known throughout the shave. They don't overpower but they don't underwhelm. They are natural, without any sort of cheap artificial chemical quality.
- Pre-shave face soak with a hot waffle towel
- Pre-shave wash with Ach Brito Glyce lime soap
- Yaqi Dandelion Cashmere brush
- EJDE89 with a Gillette Nacet blade on a Razorock Titanium handle
If you like citrus, then I can recommend Hibernia, and if you like mint but prefer a warmer rather than cooling experience, then Eboracum is fantastic. And if you want something that smells like Christmas should, then Vectis is perfect…it's got frankincense in it for goodness sake
I now have five Signature soaps (including Coria and Danum) and I can't make my mind up on a favourite. No doubt I will get more next year and probably some AS splashes too

I doubt I'll be posting again on the TSR this side of Christmas, so have a safe and merry Christmas all and a much happier New Year!
No problem...PM me and I'll send you my standard contract for image copyright. Conveniently, it amounts to the equivalent of one pot of Signature Shaving Soap per image per useThank you so much for your feedback, I'll nick the fabulous photo for my Instagram!
I never bloom my fat. I only have one soap I currently bloom which is TOBS Sandalwood. That is harder to lather than MWF..Monday evening
The Fat
For the first time, I bloomed ye Fat as I bathed. Its receptacle is a small Tupperware type dish. When it came to lathering (after using the water as a kind of pre-shave), the puck was flopping around like a de-winged pterodactyl and more lather generated than a High Expansion foam exercise. However, patience paid off; and unctuousness was restored.
So, no more blooming; it's totally unnecessary where water is softer than a bullied jellyfish. I'll return to the damp brush routine.
Which one won?Monday battle: DS-Z0 vs MÜHLE R41
