I was down to a couple of loose chunks of Proraso Red in the bowl.
I soaked it over night in some water, microwaved it, and then whisked it from a slightly clear state to a white creamy one.
Poured it back into the bowl and let it firm up.
I figured I nailed it until I went to shave.
Had a hell of a time working up a decent lather.
I killed something that permits a foamy thick lather.
Lessen learned.
