I've felt pretty rough the previous few days with flu symptoms, COVID test was negative fortunately, so a near record 4 days worth of growth to clear. Fortunately the NOS English made Wilkinson Super Sword Edge from my recent bulk acquisition was more than up to the task in just a couple of passes. My first experience with Grooming Dept soaps wasn't great, however as Mo has updated the soap bases, performance has improved for me dramatically. Probably my favourite soap at the moment.

After yesterday's rough shave with the 1912 I thought I would have to wait until tomorrow to give the Eboracum a fair trial with another razor.

But this morning there was a surprising amount of growth to deal with, so I decided to take my chances with the same brush but different razor / blade combo.

I needn't have worried. The soap performed like a champ and a 3 pass BBS came easy with no irritation. This is one of those soaps where you just have to run a damp hand over your face after a pass and immediately there is so much extra slickness and even residual cushion that you almost question whether you need to relather!

Based on the two I have now tried, Signature could be my only soaps and I would have zero problems with that as far as performance is concerned.
Thanks James, that’s kind of you. Regards Brian
