Given that it contains Triethanolamine, I don’t think it’s in the same class as MdC and CSS.Perhaps you can just tap the brush on top of the soap a few times.
How about the Bignoli Neutro? What did you think of that one compared with the Scentsless and the the Canada soaps?

Wow, Cal, all time favorite.
That's saying something.
Happy shaves,

I enjoyed the Bignoli Neutro (and some of their others too) but it ain't in the same class as Scentsless or Canada.
Lots of products contain triethanolamine, including many shaving creams that perform well. I'm not sure that is a basis for dismissal. It's a very small percentage of the total ingredients, in any case.
For me it’s automatic dismissal because I have a sensitivity to it.
Sadly, that does eliminate more than half (or maybe even > 90%) the universe of “fine” shaving creams.

I meant that the concentration is pretty low in that specific product. I'm sorry you have a sensitivity, but many people with sensitivities don't experience irritation, etc. unless the concentration is above a certain threshold.For me it’s automatic dismissal because I have a sensitivity to it.

I like products with short ingredient lists of pronounceable ingredients as much as anyone,
Indeed. But (just like you), Jim... I can be fickle.
Considering the Canada Shaving soap. Not because I have any sensitivities to scents, but because I could use EO to scent every shave however I want. I've had a sample size and know that the lather is very good.
I just pulled the trigger on it at Amazon for US$ 32.44. I hope I won't regret.

Welcome to the club! I think you won't be disappointed, at this point there's Atleast a dozen B&B members who have this soap now and from what I recall, everyone has either said it was a good Soap all the way up to its one of their favourite soaps (the majority). And if you don't like, it will be a very very quick sell on BST
I love Canada Shaving Soap...... I'm using my Acca Kappa Barbershop for a while.... but the Canada Shaving Soap will always be at the top of my rotation....
Jim, you do BOSC proud with your ingeniousness! Maybe Big Nurse will give you something extra as a reward!
I am a bowl latherer...... you just scrape out a little Canada Shaving Soap into a bowl.... add a touch of water... and walla.... beautiful lather..... and I keep the bowl warm on a coffee cup warmer for the subsequent passes.... so nice.
LOL, I just don't understand why anyone has any problems loading from the container. It's one of the widest containers out there. And I find that I don't need too many laps of that container with my brush to create more than enough lather.
The only issue is... the container is full.. and I do mean full... personally, I don't like the mess loading from a container would make... but what do I know? I've only bowl lathered. Maybe when you load the brush and face lather, it doesn't make a mess... like I said, I have a very limited paradigm.

I don't mind the filled to the brim container, it was an issue at first as others have mentioned, but then you realize you only need like 6-10 Brush swirls so it's not as bad but everyone has their preference 
I was impressed, not upset, with how much product they put in the container.... and you don't need much to get a great lather. It will last quite a while. I used it for the last month or so... just some scrapes around the outside of the container. I haven't touched the top yet... a small trench around the edge.I don't mind the filled to the brim container, it was an issue at first as others have mentioned, but then you realize you only need like 6-10 Brush swirls so it's not as bad but everyone has their preference
Impressed, me too. The level of my soap is actually convex. If I turned it upside down I can spin it like a top. I think I've used it three times and it's still like that, maybe a bit less so.

Ask me about shaving naked!
I’ll sell you half-filled containers for the same price. You can thank me later! /H
MdC is the same way BTW.
