Video: Lathering Antica Barbieria Colla -- Bitter Almond

Post by SharpSpine »

How I lather Antica Barbieria Colla Bitter Almond soap in my very hard water. Our water measures around 12 grains. Anything above 10.5 grains is considered very hard. Most people won't need to load as long as I do. However, given my circumstances and the lather that I prefer, this is how I go about getting it.

Great video Brian, thanks for posting it. I want to try this soap next time there's a group buy.

I need some of this! Suggestion, replace the Ziploc container with something unique and elegant for this soap.... An Italian lather bowl
