Right then! another failure to produce a stable, lasting lather from the Droyts shave bar, i cannot recommend anyone buy this as a shave soap. it will be used as a pre-shave wash soap, i have tried using boar, synth and badger brushes for test lathers, it starts well then dissipates, it even dissipated on to of the soap in the bowl i transferred it to
. Today i popped a pea size piece of Erasmic cream into the brush and then worked it in from there, the lather became stable, creamy and thick.
Star of the shave was the Lupo, it just seems to enjoy different handles, i think the Alpha used today is just a perfect match. 3 Passes for a close, comfortable, BBS finish.
A nice post shave to finish leaving smelling quite floral.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all
