A soap I had not used in some time, TFS Sera (the Pinup Collection). It's almost gone, so I whipped my boar brush (which fits easily into that little tub) on the soap for a good 30 seconds to load the bristles, then face-lathered. A good slick coating resulted. I did have to go back to the tub after my first pass to load some more, but it was worth it. I don't know if I will buy a TFS soap again. But this stuff has been pleasant to use.
