What soap/cream did you use today?

You rate it slicker than iColoniali Mango?

DanLaw, I'm afraid I came to the wet-shaving game too late to have tried I Coloniali's Mango soap. I've heard it was a good one.

Boys, I will investigate the question posed by Danny!

I Colonai Mango

Wonderful 'tobacco flower' - not too strong, would make a great daily puck. Sad she is gawn

Slick, easy to lather.
On deck - SMN cream

Happy Easter boys
C U all tomorrow

Thanks for running the comparison, TommyCarioca. You're a trooper.

Bouki - i need to get you some of this I Col. Mango. I think i have your address. Will send a decent chunk. You will like it given our predilection to the tobacco flower note.

Parma Inspiration v. (Catie’s Bubbles) Italian cologne

PI is a hard puck, and in the past I’ve had some irritation after using it. That’s probably down to poor loading on my part. The fact is, my water is so soft, it will turn just a speck of soap into a seemingly satisfactory lather. The next day, though, I feel it. Today I remedied all this by scraping the puck with a spatula until I had a two-gram glob of soap. I dumped that into a lather bowl and kept loading until all of it was in the brush. Did it turn out thick and dense? No, not really. But there was a lot of it. So I laid it on by the spadeful and came away with a fine, albeit messy, shave.

I'm guessing you meant two grams, rather than ounces? Two ounces would be half the tub. You'd need HUGE brush to hold that much lather!
