Review (5/5): Not sure why people have an issue getting it to create a silky, thick lather
I think it must have something to do with hard water. I just got it and was able to work up a thick, silky lather like beating egg whites for a meringue in a few minutes--silky, shiny, with stiff peaks. One of the best shaving soaps. I used both a boar hair brush and pure badger brush to test and soaked my brushes and covered the puck in hot water for 5 minutes first.
The scent is a very light, soapy, citrus scent that won't linger and interfere with any aftershave or cologne you want to use.
I think I will be moving tallow based soaps like this versus glycerine soaps because of the quality of the lather...
