So with my SRD order today, my Baume.BE came. And while I'm not shaving until tomorrow, I couldn't wait to lather this up. So, out of excitement, I opened the Jar and got the smallest amount of cream off the inside of the lid. I just lathered in my hand using my WD 24mm Silvertip set deep. I added just a bit of water and started to lather. Add a bit more water and kept lathering. Add a bit more water and kept lathering. This went on for some time and holy cow was I amazed at how the lather kept building and building and building to no end with just a little bit of cream. Lynn was right in his straight razor for beginners video. On top of the amount of lather in my hand, the brush just loaded with lather more than any of my soaps have. And the slickness..... I wouldn't have been able to grab sandpaper with the hand I lathered in. I am absolutely excited to shave with that tomorrow with the new Ralf Aust 5/8" I got today as well!
