Good for you Mike, a man that knows his own mind, a leader not a followerSince returning to Wet Shaving with proper Razors as opposed to the multi blade variety, I gave up the goo and foam. Initially I used Wilkinsons { Big Mistake} and then
Palmolive cream, before trying the likes of Proraso. I then gravitated to hard Soap in the form of MWF - No problems in lathering that.
Then of course , after looking at SOTD and reading lots of hype I tried some other more Soaps- OSP, L`Occitane, Stirling, P&B etc. I do keep looking at others descriptions and labels are so tempting. But do I really need them, as I never really get the so called scent they are associated with.
Today after a splendid Shave with the inexpensive Williams mug soap, I realise that when faced with what might be a Trial Shave i.e.. new Razor or blade almost by
instinct I reach for the MWF or Vitos Super Red. Though I love using the likes of L` Occitane , soaps such MWF, Vitos, Tabac, Arko, La Toja, Williams.Cyril Salter are
all quite inexpensive and provide great Shaving Lather. So I will continue to admire nicely designed Labels, and read the flowery descriptions of high end soaps, but will
stick with what I have got- I Hope !
Hi, had a look at their soaps, and they sound very nice indeed. Especially the goats milk which may suit my skin. About time soneof these makers got a mention......provided tgey are good!! Tell us how they shave.Oh come on, this post is crying out for some “enablingâ€. Do give signature soaps a try. Small outfit in Bolton. Much nicer than MWF for me at least and the citrus based scents are lovely
Cheers

I'm feeling a bit enabled here! Might have a go.Very well. Lathers nicely, supports a very smooth shave, and feels good on the skin. I buy mine at a local market and Brian is just so passionate about his small volume product.
I only bought MWF as a reference and whist it's good I definitely prefer the signature.
Wide range of fragrances, I have a citrus based and a rose blend. Both are lovely.
OK I have had a look , but I have enough soap to last me a few years, so am resisting.Very well. Lathers nicely, supports a very smooth shave, and feels good on the skin. I buy mine at a local market and Brian is just so passionate about his small volume product.

Hi DerrickTotally agree Mike , I only have 3 soaps in my rotation now , MWF , Tabac and Vitos Super .
But , I keep going on the Maggards website looking at the B and M , I just can't help myself .
Not sure what hybrid means. Site refers to soap and cream. Product is very firm, much more soap than cream and lasts really well even going at it.I'm feeling a bit enabled here! Might have a go.
Do you know what they mean by 'Hybrid' soap?
Hi Mike ,Hi Derrick
Hope all is well with you. Am looking forward to getting the ENOch-silly name.Will be using the Super Vitos, it is great when trying new Razors and Blades. I should really weed out my soap, but I do like what I have
Mike
...I must admit stopping the soap acquisition disorder was easier to do than the hardware , I keep telling myself I have too many razors , but , something new always seems to lure my credit card out of my wallet .
I must admit , Tabac is my benchmark soap , I can honestly say I have never had a bad shave with it...
