Paladin and Stirling Scots Pine sheep - sometimes the lather gods have mercy: did not add one drop of extra water in the loading/lathering process - it just worked perfectly. It helps to know your brush and soap - but still for me it is often more luck than anything else...
Not too much fun today - had to re-lather for the last pass and I don't like that at all. The cream doesn't take a lot of water, which you notice in the slickness department - still good lather though...
