ps.. try the face lathering  |
Hi there,
If I may, let me offer a suggestion regarding the first couple shaves with Colleen's soap after melting em. She's mentioned in the past about her use of certain types of clay to provide more slick for the lather. There's other soap makers who also use similar things (JoAnna at the shave den comes to mind), and the tip is simple. Normally that clay's suspended in the puck when shipped, and melting it causes it to kinda sink to the bottom. Try giving it a good mix after melting to redistribute things, and see if that helps.
