King of Oud (Wholly Kaw) apple oud
Shave 18 ・ 79 g left
Some soaps seem to get harder the more you use them. For instance, Klar’s Lemongrass started out a good loader, but eventually it got so rock hard, I couldn’t load from the puck anymore, even after soaking it. I gave it to Mrs Bouki to use as a hand soap. She messed with it about a week and then chucked it, saying it wouldn’t lather for her either. On B&B’s 3017 thread I’ve read of something similar happening to D.R. Harris soaps. With each shave more effort is required to load a brush. Now I’m finding that this King of Oud is also taking more and more swirlage to get a full load. I may have to put my brush down. Instead, I’ll take up a spatula to scrape a dose off the puck into a loading bowl. That works, but it's not my preferred method, and it's puzzling how a well-used soap seems to seize up. Ideas?
