I'm always wary of posting first, in case I'm doing something wrong/missing the point…
Anyhoo, PC got in there first.
Received my very generously proportioned bar this morning as well – so thanks for that!
However, I'll be shaving this evening, but I couldn't resist a wee lather.
It did indeed lather ferociously – easily outperforming anything that I have tried before. However, I got what I would describe as a foam and that "fizzing" that PC described. I tried combinations of adding more soap/water and I could only make varying degrees of foaminess. I then slapped some on my face to see if I could lather it on, but I was met with much the same as PC – I couldn't get it to "bind" to my face, and I got that fizzing.
What I will say is that after washing it off it left my skin feeling really good... And I tried to lather up with a few other bars of ordinary soap as a direct comparison; none left my face feeling that clean and smooth... I also appreciated the delicate fragrance.
Will give it another go tonight, but my first test gave me the feeling that it's not quite there.
