The Lather Maestro
Well, you may have been following a thread about my arduous journey learning how to lather this stuff. If not, I'm not linking to it here, I'd just as soon let it fade away ... but now that I have mastered this soap, I have to tell you it is truly wonderful stuff! I do not get better lather, razor glide, closeness and comfort from any other product I use, and this soap is tied with QCS for after-shave skin feel IMO. It is most definitely 'world class' shaving soap.
I heartily recommend you try this stuff out. It is really, really good. I would make one caveat, and that is this soap is not really suited to being used in hot scuttles, so if you have to do that, I would pass this up. I do not use a scuttle in the warm months, though, I really only fiddle with them in the winter where a warm lather is more comfortable to me than cold. If you face lather, or bowl lather without a hot scuttle, this is stuff you really ought to try. Their Lilly of the Valley is going to be one of my summer staples.
DO NOT just go at it right away they way you do other products in your shave den. Do yourself a favor and watch the videos by Steward TheVez2 on the Mystic Water website, here.

This soap uses less water than any other soap I've ever used, and the videos are time well spent. give it a couple of test lathers before your first shave. Once you get in the saddle with this product, however, it will yield amazing, dense, protective lathers you will just love. If you have problem skin give this a try, as well. I don't have any issues there, but I have read that folks with sensitive, dry or itchy skin like products like TOBS Avocado or Trumpers Coconut ... I think you will find this stuff in that skin pampering category, it is phenomenal.
Two thumbs up!
