Thanks for your feedback Paul, I see I will have to sharpen up my technique with this type of soap.
From the box, the formulation is given as
Potassium Palmate, Potassium Palm Kernelate, Sodium Palmate, Glycerin, Aqua, Sodium Palm Kernelate, Potassium Stearate, Sodium Stearate, Palm Kernel Acid, Parfum (Fragrance), Sodium Chloride, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Pentasodium Pentetate, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Panthenol, Limonene, Hydroxycitronellal, Citronellol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Linalool, Butyphenyl Methylpropional, Citral, Geraniol
Which to my untrained eye looks similar to your list but without the new formulation additions. So, mine is old stock? Not that it should matter.
I wash and dry my face and start by loading the brush in the pot and then apply and continue face lathering. To be fair after the foam dissipates it does leave a thin layer on my skin which aides the shave but only for one pass.
Clearly work in progress for me! Cheers Al

Started today on my adjustable razors. In many respects I wonder why I bother with non adjustables when being able to increase or decrease aggressiveness for different passes does make, for me anyway, a better shaving experience. It’s “needs” and “wants” of course fellas
So, today the Rex, #4 wtg and #2 atg and pick ups. I tried Truefitt & Hill Apsley for the second time today. Applying one of my best synthetic brushes I worked a very rich and full lather, carefull not to overdue the water. Unfortunately, yet again the lather disappeared from my face quickly requiring me to keep adding more lather to my drying fizzog. Probably the worst shaving soap by a long way that I have ever used. It comes in nice packaging though and smells good. That said, eventually bbs finish was achieved but my face still feels sore 3 hours later.
If any TSR member has used this soap successfully please pm me with advice as to what I might be doing wrong with it.
Thanks and enjoy the day fellas!
