Yeah, skklog, that lather is indeed too wet -- you'll get there in no time, though, If the cold is less than pleasing to you now, wait until a nice hot day next summer -- it's heavenly then!
Well if you ask me, it's never too cool for menthol.
I wonder if I get my soaps too wet a lot, I've tried some that everyone says is great, and I don't think their all that good.
Probably too wet and not enough soap. I was the same way too when I first started, although looking back I'm not sure why. I mean you get into this mind-set that you don't want to use a lot because it would waste the the soap, but soaps tend to last a long time regardless.
