What's new

I give up.

I came home to find my C&E order. I put my new Lime soap into my nice AOS bowl and started to lather for an evening shave. I simply could not build a good stable lather. I tried loading it different ways and really really load it good. I even let some water on top of the puck sit there trying to soften it but to no avail. I mean the lather worked but provided little cushion.

I am thinking of writing C&E a letter to complain. My Nomad worked great though
 
Yeah I had a new formula puck of Sienna and it is the only puck of soap I have ever thrown away! Loved the scent but absolute garbage in terms of performance.
 
I have the Nomad soap in a wood bowl and it works great. The WI Lime cream in the tube works well too. I have not tried the lime shave soap due to reviews of it exactly like this. I got burned similarly on GFT Eucris and Almond, avoid those soaps as well.
 
Try a different brush. For example my SOC boar(bottome right) won't work in Mike's soap but my custom floppy and another are great in it.

Any product that isn't compatible with the mighty SOC needs to be immediately removed from the market!:bored:
 
Some years ago I liked C&E quite a bit. My oldest son would send me a Christmas package with their soaps and creams. Then a few years ago the same soaps that were great were not so great. Two years in a row I could not get a decent lather from their Sandalwood soap - which at one time was one of my favorites. I did not have the box the old soap came in so I don't know if they changed their forumula.
 
Enjoy the Nomad.

Toss the Lime into the shower.

Life is too short to shave with anything but great shave soap.
 
I got C&E West Indian Lime as a present a little over a year ago, and it's one of my favorites. I hope it hasn't been reformulated since then!
