    It may depend on water hardness. I used a little over a 1/4 teaspoon (1ml, 1g) and had plenty of lather. I’m on city water so the hardness is controlled to be slightly above neutral.

      The last time I checked it it was just over 6 grains per gallon. I adjusted the softener to put it in the 1-2 gpg range.

      It tends to vary a little bit but my water feels soft, so it’s in a good spot.

        I have no idea how hard my water here in the hotel is, but we have “medium hard to hard” water in Lausanne (15-25 °fH, 9-15 gpg) where I usually lather, and this soap isn’t giving me a hard time there either. It just loads slowly for some reason.

          I found this to be the case as well. With the sample, I just put a 1/4 teaspoon in a bowl, used a damp brush to build the kind of paste I would get from loading directly off the puck, then face lathered normally. I remember thinking that the paste took a long time to develop.
