Working through my shaves and technique. Current soaps, Mikes and Col Conk don't feel slippery enough for my Dovo. Recommendations for a slippery shave? Many thanks B&B brothers. Sunday night shave after the game......mmmmmm. Oh yea.
Nivea is the only cream remaining in my rotation, IMO none of the 3Ts surpasses it for slickness, protection and other shave beneficial properties. Apart from that the Fitjar creams are also top-notch.
All the soaps listed here should be slick enough for you. It would help to see a pic of the lather. My guess, based on the mistakes I made, is that you're not loading enough product and water and the lather tends to be full of bubbles. You want it to have a creamier, yogurty like consistency. Don't wait to practice making it until it's time to shave. Do some palm lathering and experiment with more soap and water and different lathering times and you'll soon see the variety of lathers you can get. Your palm will also be very clean.
Enjoy.
Edit: Just noticed you have some Mike's. First rate soap that should provide anything you need.
For me, I haven't really found a soap that doesn't work. I prefer some over others, but all will get the job done. This is more likely either your technique or the razor. Have you tried to see if it passes a HHT? I know it's a subjective test, but might not be a bad idea just to rule out as many variables as possible so you know where to focus your efforts.
