Thanks Chris. Glad you liked it, it had to be on point; after all any soap with Yorkshire connection has to. Regards BrianThe first entry for this week's SOTD's and a very happy one at that. And this one comes to you with the theme 'A giant Bradley of a shave'

A well formulated razor which always gets things right. A God amongst razors, and with a Feather Pro onboard hard to get anything wrong. And it didn't.
A lesser formulated new member in the cabinet is the new Signature Soaps Wicstun. Will it behave? Will it prove itself worthy?
To me the name alone 'Wicstun' is a great honour in itself. Wicstun being the oldy worldly name for Market Weighton in East Yorkshire. Birth place of Britain's tallest ever man, William Bradley at 7ft 9". Locally known as Giant Bradley or to those brave enough at the time 'Look at that big bastard'. Not only that it also happens to be the place my father lived and where we now hold on to his house and partially live. Mother and father being buried not that far from the Giant Bradley in the parish church.
So yeh, a great honour and thank you @BrianH
But is it worthy? Indeed it is. Brian's Londinium has been very much a reach for item. I do have a few of Signature's soaps, but it is the scent which captures me. I do love lime as a scent and the Londinium has just the right level without being 'artificial', something I found CF to be. Enter the Wicstun.
Described as being Lime, bergamot, rosemary and Patchouli this soap appears to have not just the lime but a few other favourites in the mix. Primarily though it weighs itself towards the lime side of the story, by the bucket full but without over stepping the line. A Londinium on Lime steroids? I don't even really have to go down the road of tales of the lather as I have never met a Brian soap which doesn't. Perhaps more so given that faithful old dog in the Whiskey Barrel.
At the end of the day it gave itself a wonderful showing and nice that the scent lasts beyond emptying the sink. The Jack being a very capable partner in crime.
Overall then a super duper shave and the happy bunnies were out in force.
Have a lovely week ahead everyone here on the forum and may your shaves be equally as lovely.
Also new to me, but I am sure the vocalist is from quite a few other bands I have come across. I find her voice somewhat grating but it is growing on me. A bit like me, except I know I should really just fade away. No bloody chance.
On an end note. I am now out of isolation and free to walk alongside the living once again. And for that reason I just have to say 'I love you all'
