Personally, I get a very dense, nice and lasting lather from it very easy. I find it does lack in the slickness department, but in the end gives me a great shave. Unfortunately, afterward it leaves me quite red for many hours. I thought maybe it was a blade thing, but a week of Williams with various blades produced the redness each day.
... anyone else find it gives a good shave, but the lather sucks?
I've been using it with good results, but the lather starts to go away before you can even get the razor to your face.
None of what you describe would be chalked up as a "good shave".
