    That soap isn't too bad, takes a bit o water, but mine is extra hard. Like ya gotta chew it before swallowing it. [emoji57]

    No problems with that soap here and the handle has a surprisingly ergonomic feel to it. The Wilky brushes we get here are plain black. The OP's looks much better to me.

    I just wish it was badger, I've only had success with a few boars, and no problems with badger.

    Yeah takes a lot of work. Tried it this morning. Average, lathered up well but not long lasting - but for 4 quid what did I expect? I did not buy this soap because I could not afford a better one but rather to research. some cheap soaps/creams are great - Proraso, Musgo and the Russians so now I have one more experience to my repertoire.

    The best cheap soap is Arko in my book. Well worth a try at 3 or 4 bucks.

    If it is not lasting too long and drying out try loading more soap into the brush and use less water to make the lather. There is a sweet spot between runny and pasty.
