I am trying out my second puck of this fabled, much- vaunted shaving soap, and I am FAR from feeling the love.
I know how to load a brush; the fault is not my technique. Perhaps I have Australian formulations and they are just not any good?
The result is what looks like lather, but this lasts about a minute - at most - before dissipating into a silly grey nonsense. Slick is good, but that’s the only thing going for it.
Anyone else having this experience?
I have to say how very disappointed I am.

Ive have several pucks and i have had good experiences with mine. I have noticed from time to time, my lather does become foamy. I attribute this to my technique. There are times when i prefer to use hard pucks like shave sticks and load my face with soap then face lather. I generally get better results this way.

Perhaps you have a better formula. My experience so far has shown me Old Spice is pretty rubbish.
I’ll post mine tomorrow. Same formula, but different proportions and balance of ingredients. I have no doubt yours is great. Mine is garbage..

That’s when they get used in the shower
It also just smelled like 100-year old soap (musty basement).

Australian water? Nope. Australia is vast with many different sources of water for different towns and cities. If it were a problem here in Sydney where the water is ‘soft’, the same issue would occur with other soaps.
