Lever 2000? In the spirit of the instructions on the Palmolive Red tube and at the suggestion of Chris Moss in the thread over at SMF, I lightly loaded my brush with regular bath soap (instead of washing my face and not rinsing) before adding in the cream. It really allowed the heavy Musgo cream to break up and make a dense, wet, slick lather. I think this will be my MO from now on as I was previously underwhelmed by the Musgo Real SC.

I made superlather today with some Triple-milled French Mint bath soap (don't remember the brand, but I got it at World Market) and Proraso. Very very nice. I think I always kind of knew it would work just fine, but I hadn't gotten around to trying it until today. I think tomorrow I will try Trader Joe's Tea Tree soap and KMF unscented. This could be a neat way to add some new scents to my rotation..
