I started (re-started) an older puck of Arlington and discovered its lather is not as slick as I remember, despite all my efforts. Mind you, the previous soap spoiled me with an excellent lather. MWF did it.
So, it happens I like the Arlington, its scent and slickness are great, just that it falls somehow short of good residual slickness.
My solution when dealing with a stubborn soap is to apply a pre-shave. So far, the best pre-shave I have is the tried and tested Nivea cream:
I apply it on a wet face and continue lathering on top. The result is a low structure lather, slickest one can have, with an excellent post shave result.
I am curious if anyone has a different approach.
