    I don't know if this counts for soaps or not but recently I've been using by itself or mixed in with the C/O Bigelow cream pure aloe vera gel and sometimes blue ultrasound gel for extra slickness. That still puts me at 3 to 5 though.

    Let's see....
    Speick - I love the scent and the feel
    Klar - it really does feel silkier anything else I have tried.
    Barister and Mann -not sure which one.
    Tobak, because, yeah it would be the one I take if I did not have anything else.
    The stuff I make for myself, nothing is slicker, even if I haven't narrowed down a scent I like yet

    I've never had that problem, though you're not the first man to say that was his experience. Luckily you have other options.

    First, I do not intend for this to sound snarky or smart-aleky, but as one who can't stand Williams due to previous stated reasons, and that I don't like the skeeter-be-gone smell...

    You've never had problems with Williams? You didn't have to try a different technique? You lather all your soaps the same way? If so, more power to you.

    My opinion, if I have to use different methods for different soaps, that's a problem. But that's me.

    I'll weigh in. With Tallow Williams, I have NEVER had to adjust my lathering technique and achieve magnificent lather 100% of the time. Remember, this is for the Tallow Williams only.

    Yes, I've heard good things about the original tallow formula.
    I've never tried that, just the new stuff. I refuse to fight with it.

    A true minimalist doesn't need soap, razor or a brush.

    He has a beard.

    High schoolers can grow a better beard than I can, shaving is the way.

    I've added a kilo of Vito's Red w Coco, it's similar to Cella but less soft and stronger Almond scent and after my Williams is used up it will be replaced by Van Der Hagan
