I forgot to mention yesterday, one reason I chose Saponificio Varesino is because it's somewhat fluffy and easier to lather with a new brush. The other reason is that I've only used this soap base 4-5 times before now. AA is a time to dial things in. I hope to become very familiar with this soap by the end of the month. I've loaded directly from the puck both days. Yesterday I loaded for about 1 min 15 seconds until it looked like I had enough soap and ended up with a bit more than I wanted. Today, I tried loading for 45 seconds. I was enough lather for 2 passes. I'm curious if more soap would aid slickness. Today, I tried to speed up my lather time. I worked on painting water into the lather and spent less time working the brush. The knot is splaying more easily. It's eating a bit of lather. The face feel is good. The scritch I felt yesterday seems to be gone.
