Soap/cream of the day

Didn’t perform like I Expected it too.
Didn’t get a good Lather. No matter how hard I Tried it was Thin. The slickness was Great I got a Awesome shave with it.
How long did you load the soap? I take back my previous statement, I tried a Nomad puck a long time ago, from 2014ish. I remember having a really tough time with it and shelved it, I have it in a box somewhere. The 1980s-early 2000's soaps are wonderful, but other folks have luck with these later variations too. I did read in a thread some time ago that you should expect to load 2-3 times the amount that you usually do. I have an unused West Indian Lime soap, with a similar label to yours, I may do a test lather on it to see what I can get out of it to compare our experiences.
 
Ethos Grooming Lavender Supreme shaving soap, really a soft soap. It has a dark muddy scent similar to that of Martin de Candre but warmer and richer, and it makes great lather.

I just did a normal load time with it.
I’m Not giving up on it. I will try a longer load next time. Also I will try a Boar Brush. On the first time I used a Badger brush.
