Zaph,
I live where the Marvy Co. is located and like their soap for its fragrance and shavability, but also have not been able to get picture book lather from it. I suspect that, being an un-closeted creamer, my soap lathering skills are poorly lacking. The Marvy soap, however, even when apparently quite thin, still has enabled smooth, close shaves. I''m going to try giving it the hot water soak while showering to see if I can get the whipped cream texture we all think is the cat's PJs.
I have some extra pucks which I got from Mr. Marvy, so if you need some for further experimenting and find yourself lacking in subject material, lemme know and I'll send some your way.
