I have been using Opus X SRD soap for a while and really like the scent. I am still trying to get my face lathering technique, and shaving technique in general, down. My problem is irritation on my neck, and a skipping sensation when I shave my neck. The lather seems good, but the neck irritation/skipping (and nicking I might add) make me wonder if I am really making the best lather I can.

The thing that I keep wondering about is that this soap seems to not need much water at all. In fact, if I don't really squeeze my badger brush (after soaking in the mug) before I lather, I'll have water running down my arm. I read all these posts about having to add small amounts of water several times during lathering, but that just makes it really runny.

Anyone else have the experience that SRD soaps seem to need a LOT less water than others? Or am I doing something wrong with my lathering?
