Mysore Sandalwood

I tried this soap for the first time and i had a very difficult time lathering. i followed the video instructions, i tried to go back and forth with water and soap to get the perfect lather but it just wasnt happening. the lather was either too watery or it was too dry and sticky, i couldnt get it just right. when i tried to melt the soap afterward into a mug there were clumps everywhere and it didnt really melt at all. i dont know if that means there wasnt enough glycerin or the ratio of ingredients were off but this is the first soap ive had this issue.
smells good, more soapy than sandalwood, very moisturizing, and price is cheap. but its not exactly a quality shave and product. then again, i dont expect hand made soap to be perfect either.
