    The Fat... is so frustrating me. Just when I think I've figured something out it changes the game. This morning I used only the CA water to load and lather the soap. Loaded super goop style, light pressure using only the tips of the brush adding a few drops of water about every 10 seconds until the knot was full of soap. Took the brush to the bowl and started building my lather, again adding water incrementally a few drops at a time. Lather quickly became frothy again. I decided to just go with it and painted the lather on. This time instead of the lather drying out in my face it just vanished. I completed my first pass then took the brush back to the tin and did a quick load of soap and face lathered for the second pass. Built up some volume and then painted in some water. This lather was somewhat better, it was definitely thicker and had some creamyness to it but we were back to the lather drying out on my face. Finished the second and third pass uneventfully. Immediately after rinsing off my face it felt dry and tight. A generous splash of B&M Fougere Angelique helped
    restore some of the moisture to my skin and left me smelling great. I'm seriously considering pulling the plug on Fat-tober. I feel bad because it was my comment that got everyone all fired up the use the Fat all month long, but I'm just not enjoying my shaves with it. Oh well, Cest la vie. Have a great weekend my friends!

    TGIF!

    TGIF!! Wonderful picture of Logan. Go ahead and pull the plug on The Fat if it's not working for you. You gave it an honest attempt. Your results are so strange to me because I get mounds and mounds of luscious, hydrated, beautiful lather. I've never had it dissipate.

    You have so much wonderful shave soap.....ditch The Fat and pull out the incredible stuff you have. Enjoy your shaves!

    MWF~~Simpson~~Wade & Butcher~~Old Spice Leather
    My first straight razor. The one I learned on.
    Gave it some royal treatment on the strops and it didn't let me down.
    The MWF continues to impress.
    Bloomed/Soaked Brush/Puck lathering is my no-fail system.
    The scales on the W&B are broken at the hinge and I am concerned that they'll soon give way.
    Debating a re-scaling, as the 4/8 blade has a really nice edge, but has become "floppy" in my hand.
    2 passes only today resulted in merely a DFS shave, but I didn't mind.
    The pièce de résistance was the Old Spice Leather.    ​

    Andrew, I know you can do it! If at first you don't succeed,... In your situation, I would do multiple tries of test lathering at night to get it nailed down. I had to do it with Williams soap until I figure it out.

    TGIF!!!

    There's the happy young man!

    Sorry you're having trouble with the Fat. I wouldn't blame you for moving on. We all found a way to make shaving enjoyable, go back to using what you enjoy.
