Thread: "Dryer

In light of Rustyblade's accolades for "dry lather" soaps, I am in the process of experimenting with a "drier" lather.

Of course, I realize one could simply use less water with any soap/cream, but I have found this works better with some than others.

I have recently taken up straight-razor shaving, so the "DE clogging" is not a concern, nor am I so concerned with the scent - this is so subjective, anyway. I am, however, concerned with the QUALITY of the lather (viz. I prefer a thick, dry, cushion).

While "slickness" is desirable, I find I, personally, get a closer shave when I DON'T use an uber-slick glycerin based soaps/creams, but I'm not inherently avoiding them, if they are the best suggestion.

So, I was wondering which particular soaps/creams (say top 3-5) you would recommend specifically for producing a "drier lather."

Thank you,

Sean
