Big Bess (Chubby 3) is not producing workable lather.
It has refused to return lather from Tabac and Vitos, now things are about to become nasty, I'm through being nice.
I have La Toja, Godrej round, Old Spice cream and if all else fails, the big gun will be brought out - Arko.

Plus one to that. I often use a watch and force myself to load for two minutes. It's great for using up soap too.Don’t be shy with the soap with the chubby. She holds a lot. My first couple of shaves I didn’t get a good lather either then I loaded the daylights out of it. After that I backed off the soap a little until I got a good feel for it.

Every time I see that mug, I get sad that I can’t throw the kids and wife in the car and spend a few waterlogged days drinking fishbowl margaritas at Great Wolf Lodge. We usually go to the Ohio location from Toronto, but I haven’t been able to cross the border in almost a year.Still in.

Finally figured out this soap! Need to use a drier brush. Synthetics seem to work best on this one for me. Great smooth shave today. Have a great day y’all!View attachment 1219208

I've seen people people saying it is tricky to lather, but it worked just fine for me. The water here is soft.How's the fat been treating you?
I am fond of it too, usually makes the rotation a couple times a week. Soft water is nearly required. I find it very very slick, it can run with artisans in that regard.I've seen people people saying it is tricky to lather, but it worked just fine for me. The water here is soft.
I like the scent, such as it is, and the performance was good (similar to Arko/Palmolive/Speick). No post-shave irritation with it. It gets all round.
I've only got improvised pucks of the three stick soaps, MWF and a cream in the rotation. My guess is, MWF will out-perform the sticks, if I can optimise the lather, so it is going to get extra play here.I am fond of it too, usually makes the rotation a couple times a week.
