Just used the P.160 again. This time I used a soft badger brush but it didn't seem to help much. Normally I bowl lather everything I use. I gave up on that half way through and face lathered. I had much better results that way with this soap. On a side note, I am really liking the Micromatic razor. Sorry for all the edits. Why in the world is the send button right above the backspace button on the iPad? Super annoying.
I found it to be a loading problem. IMO the tub in which it's packaged makes loading a brush difficult. I transferred it into a larger diameter tin. Seems to have helped for me.
