I tried with a synthetic brush (the big Yaqi Rock, very nice!), loaded even more heavily, and results were better today. Still, I maintain that this base is probably the worst of the artisan bases I have.
Have a good day!

I've had two soaps go bad on me. One (The Great Bear) from Murphy & McNeil and the other (Opulence) from Declaration Grooming. I have no idea what happened. One day they just would not create a decent lather. Not sure if this applies to your experience or not.
I don't think that it has changed: it has always been this way
Ah, bummer. I have become more picky about soap bases since becoming predominantly a straight razor shaver. Have you noticed this?
A bit - I was disappointed with runny, no-structure lather before,but I don't like it running into the scales.
Time for a stainless steel razor! You need a moisture-proof razor to use the Stag😉
Maybe!
$FriodomRiders are calling!
I will consider it!
Nothing wrong with that. Time to get rid of it!
But I have the trifecta 😭
And it's the only one I have 😭
