@pjgh Glad you liked it ,It’s my favourite! Thanks to Chris @Satanfriendly for passing on to someone who likes the “marmite” fragrance he called it. Maybe I should have put some Lime in it for him!Monday 11th October

Another soap first go for me, tonight with Signature Soaps. My chum @Satanfriendly sent me some soaps surplus to his requirement and this is one I was either going to love or hate, and potentially put me onto or put me off the brand. The scent is aniseed, peppermint and spearmint. I have a particular like for peppermint as a gentle, cooling shaving soap which I find is a lot more welcome than the usual face-freezing menthol. The aniseed is very present when smelling in the tin, but when lathered it is skillfully tempered by the spearmint. I very much enjoyed the scent! The lather itself bloomed up into a thick, slick and shiny lather with little effort and performed exactly as expected. It's a damn good soap! Well done @BrianH
Brut Splash-On worked out just right, the mint quenching any burn and the scent just picking back up on the anise. Perfect!
The last time I used a Feather ProSuper, it was in a Feather Artist Club Kamisori. I made a lovely sweep along my jawline and in horror-show slow-motion, I watched as the blade caught, the razor turned and it beached into the side of my chin leaving a right cut! Thankfully, the blade is so surgically sharp that the cut healed over easily and did not leave a visible scar.
The Hawk A plate, to me, is just perfect and with a regular Feather Professional delivers a shave that I practically cannot feel. With the Feather ProSuper, it gets back some character. Moreover, it returned me to being able to make a single pass shave where the regular Feather Professional on the Hawk A plate doesn't quite cut it without having to go over a couple of areas again. That said, I enjoyed it so much and wanted to lather up again with the soap, so made a second pass anyway.
Smooth ... yes, with a captal SMOO! < Cat from 'Red Dwarf'
... and just to tie it all together, here's Danny John-Jules (actor, 'Red Dwarf' Cat characted) in the Spearmint Polo advert:
I'm sure it must have been mentioned before, but Britannia is missing an 'n' on the soap label ... not on the aftershave, or the website.@pjgh Glad you liked it ,It’s my favourite!

Like the Polo advert - my dad made Polos at Rowntrees in York. We always had bags of them in the house (and the rest of confectionery they sold in the employee sales shop), maybe that’s why I like peppermint in my shaving soaps. Hence, Eboracum has Cedarwood and Peppermint essential oil blend.
Only on that batch label! CheersI'm sure it must have been mentioned before, but Britannia is missing an 'n' on the soap label ... not on the aftershave, or the website.
.....and the verdict?????First ever shave with the Supply 2.0...
It was equal to an existing type L. I used the plate it came with, so no experimentation......and the verdict?????

Interview today so wanted a quick, smooth and easy shave, so each of these items were chosen chosen specifically for that purpose. The MSC is just delightful and the 2nd use was even better than the first. The matching splash was just the wake up call I needed. The razor and brush never disappoint and today was no exception. A fabulous start to a tough day ahead!
