Greetings SRP —


Yesterday I kicked the can and picked up the VDH Shave Kit. After carefully reading through the Making Soap Lather tutorial on this site I headed into my john with my brush and bowl in tow. I followed the instructions to a T and didn't deviate for any reason. The lather in the bowl and what was loaded onto my brush looked to be correct but when I went to swirl the concoction onto my mug it was thin. During my prep I did dip back into the soap a bit to pick up some additional soap for my lather to get a bit thicker.


I still was able to shave with the mixture, so I'm not sure if this is a rookie error (probably) or if this kind of soap just seems 'thinner' than the canned crap.


I throw myself to the wolves now for insight.


Cheers
Lowball
