Playing tag with @porkbuttsntaters666@sub.wetshaving.social regarding the CFG soap base. Granted I'm still not sure which base his soap is, but this sample of Midnight Stag is the regular base (not the Silk Tallow base).

I smeared a smush of my sample into a bowl. I find that warming the bowl with hot water softens the soap and makes it easier to spread. I loaded it with an almost-dry brush and got a thick, stiff, dry initial lather which was not too poofy and had lots of good soapy denseness. Starting off this way ensures there's plenty of soap available to protect you. I added water until I saw fit, and it was wonderful. This was the end of this sample, and one day I'll get a full tub of Midnight Stag. It's a work of art.
