I know that there's probably a lot of technique I screwed up and I shouldn't immediately blame the soap, but F it - the point of this is to have fun and enjoy. And I sure as hell would have more fun with a nice wooden shaving bowl and a couple of high quality soaps. So I ordered TGQ's blonde bowl, a cake of Lavendar and a cake of Leatherneck. (Polar opposites, there.)

Instant 200% improvement. (I measured very carefully. :P) I got a nice lather that didn't dry out on my first try. Plus, the smell is relaxing as hell. My girlfriend laughed when she smelled the Wm. Marvey because she says I smell like Vanilla ice cream! I really look forward to using this with an actual straight.

TQG soaps are like using Saidin on your face.
