8 hours later I stand here and still pick up faint hints of the rhapsody splash. The Cologne Russe gets me 4is hours which I expect, but wouldn't complain if it lasted a bit longer Wink

Will/B&M - I want to give you a shout out for the nice job you have done with the new glissant base. I have now tried it in the LPC and Roam. I tried the the LPC initially when it came out and noticed a significant improvement in the lather-ability compared to the prior base. I was mentally prepared for a small improvement, but it was more significant than I expected. Surprised me. This was repeated with Roam, which, unlike LPC, I had actually sampled in the prior base. I had always suspected that my local water here in Texas was somewhat hard, but I found out this week from my local water company that it was harder than I thought it was. So, while I never had any obvious trouble lathering your soaps (including the Latha line), I never knew there was yet another level of lather-ability ease that I was not quite reaching due to my water hardness. I feel now as tho I have finally maxed out your soap's capabilities with this new base. I was reminded of this today when I shaved with Roam and enjoyed quickly and efficiently whipping up a rich, creamy mass of lather. Now, I too can brag about how much lather I whipped up with so few swirls of the brush! So, while many praise you for yourscent-making wizardry (& rightfully so--hell, Roam!), I wanted to take a moment and praise you for your soap-making wizardry and say thanks for opening my eyes to another lathering level I was missing out on with this new base. Seems like a small thing, but it is something I noticed and appreciate.

I'm glad you like it! I think you mean LGC, though. LPC is in the Latha base, which is resistant to hard water, but definitely different than Glissant. Smile

No, it was LPC. I thought initially there was some difference between it and Roam, but I wrote it off to user error/variation (LPC was a sample that scooped and bowl lathered, while Roam is in a full tub and I lather it on the puck), not realizing that LPC was not glissant. But, now I see the bases are different so I was not imagining things. This new Roam lathering is really the schnizz.

I also remember being surprised at the lather quality and ease of lathering when I first tried Glissant. This soap base is truly fantastic Smile.

Ah, okay, that explains it. Well, I'm glad you like them both, regardless. Smile

I had tried a Latha sample a long time ago when I first got into wet shaving and my lather technique was not so good. So, I didn't have a frame of reference for it when I hit up the LPC. But, yes, I like it too. But I must say that I like the glissant even more.
