What soap/cream did you use today?

Started off by pouring hot water over the puck and then immediately pouring it out.  Loaded with a damp 30mm Cashmere and after about 50 swirls, I scooped out the proto-lather and put it on the knot.  This is what the proto-lather looked like:




Face-painted until I had the proto-lather worked into the face and had a relatively "chalky" concoction going.  That's when I dunked about 3/4 of the knot into the sink water and proceeded to face-paint for about 2 minutes.  After a couple minutes, I swirled the brush for a couple of seconds and went back to face-painting.  Repeated that process 2 or 3 more times and ended up with this:

Maestro - or 'Gilletó' Michaelangelo. Looks like a legit lather HS! Painting and patience must be the key. The protolather loaded from the puck is scary looking though ?

It is such a great lather. In 1 minute I had a nice tight low profile glistening lather. The scent is truly in my top 3 of wet shavedom. Thanks Dom. I am getting a nice divot in this puck.

La Petite Prairie (Declaration Grooming) vetiver floral
Shave 2

I love these Declaration Grooming soaps in the summer. Their soft cream-like texture makes a goopy lather that's thick on cushion. On the down side, the finish is a tad greasy for hot weather.

La Petite Prairie smells like the winds blowing across the plains of Wyoming. Lots of vetiver and a flower or two give it a grassy open-air feel. There's a note of bug spray too, just to complete the parade of summer scents.

HoosierShave, you certainly coax the best out of a puck of Meißner Tremonia. Your protolather looked scary, but in the end everything came out fantastic.
