Wondering if anyone else has run into this problem. When I first made the move away from an electric, a couple of my first purchases were a cheap Surrey bristle brush from Walgreens (haven't used it for a long time in case anyone wants it) and a bar of Surrey shave soap. I've actually been pretty impressed with the soap--cost under $2, good lather, lasts a loooong time, but not much scent. Anyway, to my question. When I bought it, I used a microwave to melt the soap into my shaving mug (a recycled coffee mug). Now that I'm finally getting down to the end of the soap, it seems that the lather is thicker and slicker. Even with the addition of extra water, the lather is pretty thick and it seems to be taking a lot more water to fully rinse off after the shave. I was wondering if during the process of melting the soap initially, if the ingredients may have stratified in the mug--when I melted the soap I did not stir it up before setting it aside to cool. Is it possible that I'm just getting down to a layer with a higher glycerine content? Thoughts?
Thanks,
