It was weirdly controversial, bordering on unpopular. During the tests, one of the other candidates was more popular: Soft hearts. Will felt it was too soft and people would resent how quickly it gets used up, so we went with the firmer Excelsior. Omnibus was the result of Will researching ways to make Soft Hearts firmer. So it feels like Will was never fully happy with Excelsior.

This was before I became interested in wetshaving. Always happy to get some of the lore.
