I’ve heard some people don’t like it and find it drying. My skin gets dried out pretty easily and I’ve never had that problem with Excelsior. It takes a large amount of water and I think most people don’t have the patience to get Excelsior to its “sweet spot”.

Omnibus also takes a huge amount of water, but it’s more forgiving if you don’t spend the time getting it wet. I’m still undecided on which base I prefer, as I love them both.

Soft Heart was in the middle of the two, and unlike @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social I don’t think Ominibus was a natural progression, although I’m not sure that’s why he meant. I feel like it was a new direction towards a different type of lather.

I do prefer Excelsior and Omnibus to Soft Heart, as I find SH to be a tad bit on the poofy side.

I also have an opinion about the Reserve base, but nobody asked so I’ll stop here before I write a book!
