I was lucky to get a sample of Whole Hog 3.0. I started off and had that shit, I already broke it moment. I kept working at it and it quickly went full-on yogurt mode. I followed the Precision Loading method and ended up with gobs of lather with a beautiful sheen.

Result was excellent. I think you're on to something here u/hugbckt. If you keep going, I think SBS and FNZN are going to have some real competition.

Progress breaking in the Zenith

Have a good evening.
