| After yesterday’s meh experience with Ishtar, I tried a synthetic brush, and didn’t use any preshave. I loaded abundantly, and got loads of dense lather. It’s not as slick as Southern Witchcraft’s base though, even with lots of water. Yeah, it doesn’t spark as much joy as before. |
Have a good night!

You used to love Ishtar, no?
Is it just the lather, or do you also dislike the scent now?

The scent is great, but it’s gotten very weak since I had to change the tub (there was some reaction of the tin tub with the soap). I don’t know whether the lather quality declined with the scent, but I don’t get the wow effect anymore 😞

Did the soap react with the original tin from AYLM?
PorkButtsNTaters666@sub.wetshaving.social 11 months ago
Yes, in both Ishtar and Marduk - and that’s why they changed most of their soaps to hard soap, with the rest going into glass containers (which are outrageously priced)
