You hit the nail on the head.

I came across Osma in France but was never tempted enough to buy as in all the years that it has been available the product barely raised its head over the (review) parapet.

Over time, I have come to accumulate so many outstanding soaps that for me merely being “good” is just not good enough anymore - especially when you have already a sizeable number of excellent soaps in rotation and space on the shelves has become scarce.

Which BTW is one of the reasons that I tend to sit on the fence for a while before I buy new stuff that people have started singing the praises of.

I am also looking for a product that convinces me on all fronts. A soap that is hard to lather before it can impress me with the slickness of its lather is not for me.

Luckily, I have no problems creating a rich lather from Mitchell’s Wool Fat.
