I had today's theme soap. I didn't get good performance out of it though. I'm taking the blame. From the after-action analysis, either I should have used twice the amount of soap (it's a cream), restricted water usage early in the lather, or this base sucks. Luckily, I've got more of this soap to try in the future.

The scent is okay. Seems pretty light.
