Review (1/5): Poor lather / difficult to work with.
I've heard a lot of good about this soap and I've heard a lot of bad. I decided to give it a try to see what my experience was as I have been wet shaving for over 2 years now. Unfortunately I was one of the people that had a poor experience with this soap.
I tried loading with a dry and wet brush, bowl and face lathering, and varied how I added water and everything produced the same frothy, dissatisfying lather that evaporated off my face within seconds.
In my experience, shaving soaps should not be this difficult to work with. I'm sure I could get a good lather if I give it time, but to be honest, there are plenty of soap makers out there that produce soaps that are wonderful to work with and produce and excellent lather with little to no effort so it isn't worth the time and effort to figure this soap out in my opinion.
