I had to start over with this soap.
From the basics, to focus the ABC of lathering.
Which also happens to be the acronym for the brand.

This Ribera is the 22.12 base of December 2022.
This range will be coming to base 23 shortly.
In fact, the current version is not for newbies.

Very technical, requires understanding two basic concepts:
• the amount of water
• the temperature

Thanks to the suggestions I received, I had no difficulty.
But it still took a long time, compared to my standards.
In fact, this base requires a lot of water.
Also at first hard butters have to be warmed.
So I used the sink as a Scuttle. I don’t use a bowl.

Another detail to consider with technical products.
Do not load into the container, and take a given amount of product.
In my case, this being the first contact, I used two grams.
That is an enormity ... but it was useful to work in sure excess.
This amount in about ten minutes of assembly, took about twelve grams of water.
All with seven successive additions, to achieve the desired density.
That doesn’t sound like much. But it’s a lot.

On the other hand, at the third pass according to the classical technique, I had a large amount of lather for at least two more passes.
Lather that obviously remained dense and pearlescent until the end.
In fact, it has an excellent structure with micro bubbles, very resistant.
The same applies to lubrication. Both primary and secondary.
In fact, the high amount of cocoa butter has a similar effect to waxes.

To finish the lotion gave its fragrance touch.
Both, even that of soap, in good continuity.
But without being aggressive, despite their presence.
After several hours, I still hear the background notes.

This is the SOTD.
