I picked up 2 pucks of Ballard Organics Shave soap this weekend. Tried shaving with it once and it did not work out well. The foam was ok in the scuttle and first applied to the face. However, the foam almost immediately started to dry up like bubbly hand soap. I tried to face lather it to "recover" the foam and rebuild but it would not work. To recover the shave, added some Bigelow shave cream for super lather, just to finish up. The soap and cream did not want to mix and took a lot of mixing to get a super lather.
The set up was: badger brush, tap-water hot (not boiling) water in the scuttle and to build lather, and started with very dry brush and slowly added water.
Have no problem lathering MWF, Mama's, or proraso.
Any tips for lathering Ballard Organics shave soap?
