After seeking suggestions from the forum on a new soap to put in a recently empty pewter bowl, I settled on Signature Soaps ‘Coria', initially suggested by @RussellR5555 , and delivered very quickly by @BrianH . I had my first shave with it late yesterday evening…
I started with my usual pre-shave wash with Ach Brito Glyce lime soap, and used the excellent Yaqi Sagrada Familia synthetic brush and EJDE89 with a Gillette Nacet blade on a Razorock Titanium handle.
The whole 180g of the soap fit perfectly into the pewter dish - clearly this was meant to be! I doused the soap with hot water for a few minutes and then went to work loading the brush. I think it was about three seconds before I had a full-on Mr Whippy. (No! That's not what you think!)
I wasn't sure about the scent when I first opened the tin, in fact I was a little disappointed, but after a few minutes of face lathering I found myself really enjoying the fragrance that was subtle but had a very pleasant and unique 'herbal' quality. Lots of soaps need to air for a few minutes...I find the same thing with P&B soaps sometimes...but it's worth the wait.
Coria provided a really comfortable shave with lots of cushion and zero irritation in just two passes with a blade that was on its fourth shave.
I topped it all off with a splash of Extro Cosmesi Lavanda Muschio and all was right in the world (in spite of the US election).
Overall it was an excellent shaving experience made even better in the knowledge that Brian also generously supplied me with a tin of ‘Danum' (Patchouli) shaving soap, which I shall be trying that out later this evening. If it's half as good as the Coria I will incredibly happy during lockdown.
So, thanks again Brian for the fast turnaround on my order and the ‘Danum' surprise, and Russell for the recommendation, and to those who responded to my call for help (even @Boycie83 who tried to flog me some of his old stuff that he'd used once and hated)
Stay safe all
