I've tried this a few more times and it is just not responding nearly as well as most other things I have. Unless something magically changes, I fear I am probably done with this.
I was feeling the same way until I decided to give this a try. I am going to give this some more effort and attempts to make sure that it was not a one off, but I have a funny feeling that this is going to be the way to go for me.
I have three products that I am currently using in rotation; Fraser's, Strop Shoppe Special Edition with tallow and Williams. I am going to be face lathering with all of them to lean this technique.
