Very thirsty, use lots of water
This soap is extremely hard to latter and I am not a beginner.. If you look at video's, see how hard they are pressing, how much water , what kind of brush and for how long mixing. You never know about video's anyway. You could put water on the soap before time and soak  before mixing and doing video, who knows. It is very hard to put on the brush. You are talking over a minute hard mixing.  Want two passes, more. Very hard on brush as lather does not go to edges just the middle. The edge hairs take a real beating. You have to use a lots  of water mixing. A syn brush is what you need that you can press hard and not ruin it. I will not be using my badger brushes and I will soak soap as I mentioned for a few minutes. I use Kai blades, very sharp but very forgiving and never had a problem.  I always rub a alum block on my face and rinse it off after shaving. The best way also to see if a soap is working also. Talk about sting, it hurts. Kai blades or other soaps have never done that before so it is the soap. I tried another Kai blade and a Feather to make sure. If you try this soap I suggest King of Bourbon. The scent is really fantastic, one of the best. I will update if it turns out I have better luck but only using it one more time. I have not tried soaking soap yet which is not that hard, but that sting has to be solved. More water? UPDATE: It is the water. I had to use at least 2 times plus what I have before. Usually this much would have lots of water running down my chest. Not this, it is thirsty. It produced lather as good or better than what I have used before, it is thick and creamy and does not dry out. I always mix soap in the container my soap comes in and the diameter is perfect. It would not hurt to include a note saying this is very thirsty. I still get burn from the alum block but that could be from yesterday. But I will withhold a star for that.
