Did you find with less loading time the lather was not enough for 3-4 passes?

Not at all, I used it this morning... 15 seconds loading time, did 3 passes and then washed enough for a 4th pass down the sink.

When I tried it I found it drying and not very slick. With the lighter load are you finding it any slicker than before when you found it drying?

I'm not sure as I've not overloaded it since I first tried it 2 years ago
but, I can tell you I find it quite slick, not the very slickest but certainly slick enough for my needs.

Can't resist but say again in here.
I was extremely hesitant due to the cost.
It just really is good.
Disappointingly it stings me and I normally just get rid of a soap if it does that.
This one, however, is sitting there waiting while I work out how to make it not sting.
I would love to see how many shaves you get from it compared to A.N.Other soap.
Edit: Actually, someone on B&B did it and counted 380 x 3 pass shaves with lather to spare.
I generally do a 2 pass shave so could get away with less.
I generally only shave every three days atm, so that would last me three years.

I am sure about this. This thing that costs my-one-day-money-I-can-get-from my-job, is definitely a good soap, but not great. So, instead of getting a MdC I would definitely get a B&M Glissant base.
Literally a few swirls maybe 10 or less on the puck and lots of water.
I see that people load for significantly less time MdC soaps compared to others (e.g. 10 secs instead of 30) but to be honest I haven't really seen that with mine. I mean I tried it once and it just wasn't enough. I needed more soap. Eventually I've ended up loading the brush similar time as the other soaps - yes, a bit less but not significantly so. Nevertheless I did notice that the soap doesn't seem to decrease (of course it does but not noticeably), I mean I've used it for at least 10 shaves (3+ passes each) and its surface level looks like day one! Perhaps I'm using less pressure when loading with this soap, who knows...
