Yeah I've got to agree with the dissapointed responses here.
I found the lather to be quite easy to make but for me, although I'm inexperianced, it seemed to dry fairly quickly.
My most important criticisim of it though, and this is not technique or experiance dependent, was that after the lather had been on my face for more than 30 seconds it actually started to sting. A little sting at first, then it got to quite an uncomfortable burn.
After this happened twice, I wasnt prepared to try it again so I sold the barely used soap to a mate for $5.
Anyway, to those who are willing to work with it to get the lather and whose skin agrees with the soap itself (unlike mine), the scent is just fantastic.
I switched to the Nomad soap as it is meant to be a 'calming' soap and found it to be similar in lathering respects to the Sandalwood, but no where near as nice on the nose.
All in all, an un-usable soap for my face, but I hope YMV.
