Almond size amount of cream/soap? Are almonds different sizes in different places?

[ERS4]

Even the dosage and amount of water vary between different soaps.
So I end up just observing the texture of lather in the bowl or how it feels on my face and adjusting the amount accordingly.

I can't even remember my shoe size because every shoe brand in the store has different units.
Luckily I always go out with my feet.

Maybe we need a new standard that isn't organic and varies in size - because I just ate some almonds from Aldi and one of these wouldn't be enough shave but half a face

Well, some horses are more powerful than others, but that doesn't stop us from using "horsepower" as a standard unit of measurement.

Why so rigid? Surely every cream and soaps are different? Use what you needto make the lather you like. After 2 or 3 uses, you'll know what's needed.

Just be a Malay auntie.

Studies have shown that around 1/3 the population doesn't get or understand humor.
All I have to do is make a silly post and those people show up to prove the studies

When I use cream, it's usually Proraso Blue (tube).

I go between 1 & 2 peanuts in a shell size.

Screw Almonds.

The problem is you’re using almonds as your size guide. What you really need is a snurdle size dab of cream.

You won... I googled snurdle. I use a pretty good sized glob.

It always depends on the soap or cream. Castle Forbes always required less product when I used creams and McC always requires less product for soaps. Every new product needs a bit of experimenting.

Spot on about these two

For myself, I keep it simple. I use the large bowl of a melon ball spoon. This amount will generally give me 2 or 3 day's of lathering.
