This is my second shave with the larger $38 jars of LPL soap.  Unlike the first shave, I stuck with familiar gear and techniques for this shave.  However - and I am sorry to say this - both shaves were disappointing.  The lather tended to be bubbly and ultra thin.  I built an acceptable lather in the first shave, but it required too much work, and the lather was just acceptable - not great.  I called it quits after one pass during the second shave, and settled for a bloodless SAS.  

Perhaps I might have done better, or maybe if I stuck with LPL for a month, I might have learned how to use it better.  But life is too short, and there are too many great soaps on the market.  So unless I stumble across a fix - which is always welcome - I won't be using LPL again.

PS  The scents were pleasant but not exceptional.
PPS The post was less than top-shelf, but much better than I expected from the lather.
  

  
Pre ...... Kiehl's Facial Fuel
Brush .... Omega EVO Marble Ovale
Soap ..... Le Père Lucien Vetiver
Razor .... Alpha Spirit
Blade .... Proline P-30

Finish ... Costume National Secret Woods EDP

Crazy to think that not all that long ago, the general consensus on forums was that LPL was "The New MDC".
Seem like polar opposites!

Thanks brother. I had the same impressions upon usage of their Rose and Apricot.

Best Grapefruit soap in the biz. Easy. The F base is top notch as we all know. I finished up my lemon pux and will finish the summer with my favorite citrus bombs.

Good choice today Bluegrass

Blue, I finished off a tub of the early base.... The soft base. I think it was one of Frank's first pucks. Every time I use it, I get energized. Refreshing stuff.
