    I believe the issue is the Purely Skinful lather is easy to overhydrate and collapse. Since a boar brush holds water, unlike a synth, the extra water in the 2nd pass makes it too thin and it loses slickness. Maybe I would need to balance it out by having a dryer face when applying the 2nd coating.

    It's Williams Wednesday today!
    I bloomed the soap over night and did not get the nice lather like I did during my prior shave, but it was decent enough to give me an excellent shave on 3 passes. Finished with the familiar standby, Old Spice. Have a great day guys! 20190724_090954.jpg 20190724_090954.jpg

    Drinking too much followed by spicy Ramen and fish cake sounds so ....... Korean. In Korea fish cakes are called oh-deng.

    I'm sure there are dozens of Khmer words for fish cakes given the centrality of fish in the cuisine, this type I don't know. I do know pahut which are a croquette kinda thing are fabulous.

    Ten years of experience running bars in SE Asia has taught me some things about hangover cures .

    I see you went back to the Synthetic. Did the soap work better with the change in brushes?

    Yes, I only do it for this soap! I use the bloom water as a preshave. I recently have gotten a good lather by doing this, but today was an exception. I believe my boar brush does a better job than my badger with Williams.
