  Ohhhh, the silk tallow base? I’ve killed a tub of that stuff. I liked that base, too! Definitely a little tricky, though.

    Maybe with a synthetic? What was your trick?

      I do tend to use synthetic brushes a lot.

      With that base I remember the proto-lather never really got any “bigger” while lathering, so I tub loaded what looked like it was going to be enough soap for the whole shave, then just added water to weigh it down a bit. That’s pretty much it.

        Thanks, I’ll try this!
