Bloomed the soap while I showered - Decided to actually time the lather process today:

1.  Loading with a 28mm tuxedo fan - 15 seconds
2.  Face-painted for 1:30 then dipped a quarter of the knot in sink water
3.  Continued to dip/face-paint up to the 4:30 mark, at which point, I swirled/agitated for the 1st time (honestly, I was a bit surprised how long I face-paint before the 1st agitation)
4.  Dipped/quick agitation (5 sec)/then face-paint
5.  Stopped at the 12:30 mark

One thing about turning shaving into a hobby is one never seems to settle into a routine.  All the soaps, creams, post shave serums, lotions, preshaves, and we have to try them all.  Well not today boys!  I did this one out of comfort and luxury with no thought to the science of it all.  I really have no need for more than Sir Henrys Sandalwood offers.  It’s Tabac with a non-polarizing scent.  Super plump finish.

Very good soap, but what an awesome lather you've made of it! I look at the suds you churn out and I realize just how much I still have to learn.
Thank you for the kind words!  I still need to learn how you're getting the great lathers with SV though
Lets all go to the Sandwich Islands and stay at Bouki’s place.  He can “learn” us up on SV then.

A drawing underneath would have taken away from the beauty of the stunning Italian ceramics.  I should have taken the soap out with an image of the inside too, just beautiful! 
One of the true Italian Almond scented Soaps, pure luxury!

I’m with you there! I should probably support my opinion here with a mini review but fitness is calling!

I’m becoming more careful with any review on creams/soaps. I have slowed waaaaay down on building my lathers. I went from a 3 minute whip it up to a 7-10 and honestly, I think I can build an incredible lather with a feather duster. Good lather does NOT mean good soap.

$16 at Smallflower for damaged boxes/pucks on BlackFriday was within my budget. Of course the ceramics did NOT come with it at $16, a well respected member here (ShaveMD) is responsible for that!
