I normally use a very wet lather, so today I went pasty and really did not like it. It did not affect my shave result much, but made rinsing and cleaning the straight razor more of a hassle. One benefit, though, was that the denser lather delivered more of the soap's fragrance which I (clearly, if you look at the photo) love.
