2nd shave with original and it felt much better. I smeared a lump o'beef around the inside of my bowl and lathered up with a half dry brush and dripped water as required.
The first addition of water brought the lather to life and the elasticity felt great. Slckness was better this time and I think this was due to having more product in the bowl. I shaved with a fresh blade in 1912 and the result was very close and comfortable. I do, however, have a slightly dry feel to my face, but there was no discernible issue with slickness during the shave tonight.
Looking forward to trying the tweaked version against this one, but overall it is a really nice soap.
