What is your thirstiest soap?

[Shemen Zait]

I never had much of an issue with soap thirst until recently.

I picked up a Wilkinson blue stick in Dresden and peculiar soap it is.

I use it in the same way as the trusty Mr Arko, rub on face and attack with my well shaked Omega 49.

This is the most condensed lather I ever witnessed let's say i had to dial much more water than usual. Arko would desolve in to a bubbely mess by now but not this stick, it kept saying feed me!

If you like thick dry lather you should be happy but this simply a PITA to use with a Gillette Contour as it's blocking the blades, slightly better with a DE.

I had a Wilkie stick and mashed it into a bowl where it worked farrrrrrr better. I then sold it to a newbie in a package deal.

I agree. Don't even think about blooming it as a solution. It gets even more thirsty

It's fantastic soap, but grating is the way to go

Barrister & Mann old formula in the white tubs , this was my thirstiest soap and would take four or five more hits of water than I usually go in for with other soap.

P&B loves a good drink to get the best from it.

Tabac is very thirsty, in my experience.

I usually use an Arko stick. Recently I was in Austria, different water I guess but the lather made in the same way was more like drying emulsion paint than shaving lather. Different water I guess.

MWF.
It takes a lot of water as the required soap to water ratio is very low.

Speick stick also takes a ton, as do DRHarris and haslinger.

On the opposite of the spectrum, CRSW and Tim's soap require the least amount of water, for me.
