Is this your first time with QCS? It is a fairly good soap and I would suggest starting with a bit of a drier brush, load for longer than you normally do and add water little by little while loading. If you are using the 'Marco' method, again, just load for even longer. It sounds like you aren't picking up enough soap on your brush. Good luck.
Hey, thanks for your helpful suggestion. Yes, I have both the QCS Rose Otto soap and cream; I specialize in rose products. I have the same trouble with the hard soap as I had last night with the cream. I shall certainly try to use less water as a possible solution. More product on the brush = the key, I feel sure. I love the aroma, so I'll persevere. Thanks again.
 
Looks like everyone is stepping up their game a lot in their pictures lately. I may have to invest in a camera and quit using my phone?
Cheers All :thumbup1:

It is my pleasure and I wish you the best of luck. We, here, in Vancouver must have the softest water in the world as I can get any soap to lather! :biggrin1:
QSC has never been one that has caused any issues, whatsoever.
 
Some more great photos, gentlemen! :thumbup:

Ah Autumn, when a young man's fancy turns to sweeter, heavier scents. Or so I hear from the young people.

Pre: Fanciful Fox Dapper Pre Shave oil.
Soap: HTGAM/King R. Shave stick
Brush: Frank's Pur Tech
Razor/Blade: Bump fighter handle, Gillette Trac II Cart
Method: WTG/ATG
Post: Alum Block
A/S: Clubman Vanilla with added Glycerine and Witch hazel (I think thayers original, although it may have been the alcohol free--I need a lab notebook)
Cologne: Clubman concentrate

The sweet smelling combination of the unusual soap stick (a little like black cherry cough syrup in a good way) and the clubman double dose has me feeling pretty good.
