How long did that lather take you? I'm taking two minutes in the bowl, about 3 minutes start to finish, just like Vez did. Nothing out of the ordinary. I am worried I may not be able to wean myself away from the scent soon. I should probably change it up with something different.
Well there you go! That's as speedy and efficient as any lather I ever make! Our arms will recover from the learning curve damage they've sustained.

The whole instruction thing and Italian soft soap comparison at the start was just unfortunate, especially for those of us with a soft spot for Italian soaps. Your stuff is your stuff--Italian, it ain't. But it is wonderful stuff. Congratulations!
IMHO, a lot of people aren't going to stick with this in its current form. Us shave geeks have way too many other far more forgiving products to choose from and shave dens so packed we don't really need to add something so finicky to our stack of products. Not only that, but a soap that is not reasonably user friendly to newbies misses out on a huge market share. Why do you think RazoRock is so successful? Because the product works well for both newbies and experienced shavers alike.
And JC, I did see your lather pics. Looking good for sure. My mind is already made up for now though. Like I said, I am open to testing formula tweaks, but I will not use this in its current form.
First of all, Brucered, that is some of the best lather I have ever seen from any soap. It is far better than the lather I am producing with MW, when I bowl lather. But I typically face lather, because it is easier for me than bowl lathering. I do get it that thick face lathering, but I usually dont see it like that on my brush, because all the goodness is on my face.
Looking forward to more pics and JC's extensive testing.
