As usual, having decided upon a strict "replacement only" regime, various shaving soaps seem to be everlasting, but I've now come to the end of a couple.
That was my cue to jump in and try a Signature soap, of which I've heard many good things. Impressively quickly, a tub of Leodis arrived, and I've just had a first try of it.
I love the scent, and I think it must be the slickest and most luscious shaving soap I've ever used. With minimal water, in a shaving mug, it brushes on like a top-quality shaving cream, but add a bit more water and elbow-grease, and it swiftly whips up into meringue-style lather. It then leaves a very pleasant finish post-shave; "smooth and refreshed" covers it for me.
Superb all round, and I'm raring to try some of the other scents.
I also needed some regular soap, and ordered a bar of Cinnamon and Sweet Orange. This too makes most other bar soaps look, smell and feel like laundry soap, and the current handwashing recommendations are an excellent reason for using it often.
