    It is little hard for me to tell from your picture, but here is a good example of shiny lather from @PickledNorthern.

    the cream in a tube as slicker imo ,but their best stuff is the single edge line of creams..the tub soaps are good,but they like one to use the pre/post shave and balm/aftershave as a set..
    edit..a great lather can be achieved if you work it.the other pre/post shave creams are not a necessity..i love all of their products,but there are betters ones.proraso is a dedicated shave company for decades,not a cosmetic /make up brand with a men's line..compare it to williams..:D

    Mix up a lather and just keep adding water until its runny and you've obviously over hydrated it. You'll be surprised how much water it will take and you will be able to find the sweet spot the next time. Sacrifice a little soap so you see what it can take.

    I like the Proraso Menthol Pre-shave and Menthol aftershave Balm. I'll prolly always have them.

    I have a tub of the 'sensitive skin' soap and a tube of the menthol cream. Like yourself, I find they lather well but are not as slick as I want.

    I know I don't need much enabling, but I just found a lot on ebay that includes a Cooper Monobilt and a PAL. Of course I purchased them.

    I had never heard of the Monobilt before 30DC. Am I in the club? I buy stuff and blame you guys, and you do the same, blaming me?

    Yes I am working pretty much everyday but Christmas for the rest of the year. I overslept this morning. My alarm was going off for 40 minutes and neither my wife or I heard it.

    I managed to oversleep this morning so I went with a very quick three pass shave ending in a DFS. Off to work now and see how much I can get done today. I hope everyone has a great Monday.

    I'm off tomorrow and Wednesday. Back to work Thursday and the talk is twelve hour shifts through the weekend. Hopefully I'll get New Year's Day off.
    I hope things go smoothly for you to finish out the year.
