Sample scoop 1 of 3. Next time I use this, I'll restrict water. It was a little foamy but went on slick. I wasn't able to get any sheen but plenty of peaks. Unfortunately, the soap dissipated as I was shaving. I'm taking the blame on this. I'll do better next time.

Have a good day!

Captains Choice Bay Rum scent is my favorite, but the lather is old school. Light and foamy. You can make it work but it has its limitations.
