Lemongrass & Eucalyptus - although it doesn't make any difference in the lather quality - all of my Mike's perform equally stellar

Best lather I've had yet with this brush, crazy protective.

Just no way I was going to use the C&E. A bit of glycerine usually helps but what's the point?
It's funny too how tastes change. This used to be my favourite scent but it doesn't even come close now. I reckon that will change again at the start of next month with Obsidian and Spitfire. There are just too many better homespun soaps.
Serious about the lather, I've never had better. Again, took four or five minutes with it.

It managed to hold its shape for 6 days before total hydration and collapse.That's seriously impressive!

I took your advice on the water content Nishy. I lifted the brush out of the water, let it drain and gave it a little gentle one inch shake, careful not to remove too much, probably two tablespoons left in it. It holds a serious amount of water. I put a small almond of the cream in the bowl and lathered for five or six minutes. I'll definitely dial it down the next time though, probably made enough for 37 passes! Wonderful stuff though, quite different to the others TOBS. Really cushioning and the post shave feel is outstanding.

liking the lather Gordy, one suggestion although you are now getting better volume in your lather, try and get the soap:water mix spot on, the lather will be shiny as opposed to matt. Something akin to a hard boiled sweet with sheen. Now mind you some like a drier lather but the above is my preference. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
