AOS Sandlewood is one of my favorites I have never had a problem with it ......must be water, I get great lathers

Obie, have you tried PannaCrema?
I am testing Nuavia (vegan) and the original line (tallow) now.

The LPL Patchouli just seemed never to spark up a rich creamy lather, and again failed to do so tonight. Always a tad thin and tended to foam...

I'd noticed the LPL Traditional seemed to fade after a few initial uses, after a stellar initial showing....until Sunday then, until Sunday....

I have never been able to get a good lather from LPL. Same experience as yours.

Stefan, I came across this some years ago, but for some reason never tried it. Perhaps one of these days.

Phrank and Mainaman,
I am surprised this soaps does not work for you. I find it does everything it is supposed to do. The lather is big and moist, with the cushion and glide topnotch. Perhaps you need to work with the soap a wee bit longer.

I'm at the place where a certain routine seems to work for me with how I prepare the lather, and if I have to work too hard at it, it's gone.

Tonight with the LPL Patchouli, I made a point of using my Semogue 1305 Boar brush, and really loaded the brush up, into the scuttle to whip up the lather, and it consistently seems to not get that robust lather that MDC gets, or for that matter, DR Harris Windsor or TOBS Eton or many others soaps and creams...it may be making a journey to visit Pope Razorfeld at some point in 2016...

I Love LPL, at first I had a problem, but with a minor adjustment it started working great like Obie says great lather and a great shave, I've used my Simpson brushes, and my Saville Row brushes, loads great.

What about Pre de Province cream that's a basement cream, but the soap is good

**tcrideshd** · 02-20-2016, 07:30 AM

I,m not sure, but I get a better lather with LPL by face lathering than I did in a scuttle, maybe the heat is affecting it. But I did find it a pretty good soap, not in my top tier cause it's a short list, but definantly in the top of the second tier. Tc
