Haha! I may only be 30, but I also live in Germany - the country which, arguably, has the biggest cult following of Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill. Reference article here. So yeah, of course I know him. His movies already were cult classics in my childhood and are still shown today in german TV, especially on public holidays.
It's great that you don't got any serious allergic reactions to the soap. I still don't know how I'll go about lathering the soap, since I usually just load my brush from the tub and begin lathering directly on my head. However, your comment about the soap needing more volume is very helpful in that regard. Cheers and a great Wednesday to you too!
You'll probably need some sort of bowl β the soap seems to me to be too hard to simply smear it on the brush.
Bud Spencer++
Now I found myself an old wooden lid from a rituals shaving cream and will press the soap into that to simulate loading from a puck - the BVWSC shave can commence soon π
And yes, Bud Spencer++ πͺπ»
That'll work just fine π
It did ππ»
Excellent!
