Amen! Wet, thick, creamy, heavy-looking lather. Fluffy lather is pretty, but I much prefer to use the kind of stuff in the photo.
oversaturn, my compliments on a divine-looking lather.
I completely agree. You can't always tell how well lather will shave based on just a pic, but the fluffy stuff that can hold its peaks while a camera is being set up has proven to be less than stellar in the performance department for me. Oversaturn's lather has all the visual markers of a superior lather. Xillion's lather also looks top-notch... less airy, more dense and yogurty. I still consider myself an emerging learner, though, so take my opinions with a grain of salt.
