I'm 2 years into the wet shaving caper, and like most on here there's no going back.
During weekdays I generally use Biotique shaving cream, rotated with a range of sticks (LaToja, Arko, Speick). And at weekends I reach for my jar of MdC. Almost 2 years into it and barely dented.
Anyway, I had been away for 6 weeks carrying just a stick of Arko, and when I came back I was looking forward to diving back into the MdC. But I found disappointment, loading up plenty of soap but the lather being just a tad disappointing. I was using more-or-less the same face-lathering approach that had yielded perfect results every day with my trusty ole stick of Arko.
This morning's shave started the same way until it struck me - try more water. So having face-lathered for a minute with the moderately wet brush I'd used to load up, I dipped it back into the water and continued lathering with a pretty wet brush. And bingo - loads of lather like it should be.
The moral of the tale?
Soaps often have their peculiarities. Even for the reasonably experienced, there is often attention required if you revisit a routine that you'd left behind.
And that's part of the attraction of this whole weird world.
Here endeth the lesson.

MdC needed more water
