What soap/cream did you use today?

Dulci Tobacco (Wholly Kaw) sweet tobacco
Shave 1

I don't know what language "Dulci Tabacco" is, but I love the smell of this sweet brown soap and the shave it gives me. The scent lingers for a few hours, with hints of tobacco, molasses, leather, and cedar. The lather is slick, even when a bit pasty. I like this soft soap just as much as Wholly Kaw's Dulci Tobacco cream.

WK does a great job with scents one might not expect to work - this is by far the most appealing tobacco soap scent encountered. No stank of cheap cigars here. The more it breathes, the better it mellows too.

MT, the most deceptive soap in Shavedom.  The lather may not look pretty but the slickness is off the charts.  And if you're a fan of dark/danky scents, Strong 'n Scottish may be for you

Hoosier, you are a lather magician. I could not get a good shave with the stuff. Tried 2 jars... Ended up as shower bars.... Liked the scents but i got foamy thin lathers. How did you do it? I am a slow hydrator... and can make toothpaste work but not the  MT or the LPL.  How how how? ?

Honestly, the MT lathers are not pretty   I get the same foamy lather but it always ends up being slick and with good cushion.  For me, I don't use too much water with MT.  Usually go at it with a damp brush and, after about 20 swirls, add a few drops of water onto the puck.  Load for another 30 to 40 swirls and get a very foamy concoction.  At that point, I just face-paint for awhile trying to work out as much of the foam as i can.  After a few minutes of face-painting, I do like to dip about half the knot in sink water and proceed with the face-painting.  I'll use MT again in the next few days so I can get a pic of the lather...but later today, I have to try out The Trench which arrived yesterday

Ok, I feel better. We are getting the same results - free only delta is expectations and preferences. I don't care at all about cushion. And I really like the low profile slick okra snot straight razor style lathers. Thanks Hoosier.

Did you try distilled water?

No Danny. I used to hydrate with a jug but the wife killed it per bathroom aesthetics.?

Looks like it is supposed to be Italiano but they did not get the plurality correct.
