No actual experience with the unscented soaps, so....

Siero Bare is outstanding. Like all WK milk soaps, it works perfectly. Their Vegan is quite good too.

You should find the WK Bare soap outstanding although the ETHOS Tibu Sabuni is the king of hard core sensative skin soaps by far

Crème Fraiche seems to not be holding enough lather for me. Siero base has enough for a shave with multiple passes from one load from the tub. Crème Fraiche I find myself having to reload from the tub in between passes.

That’s surprising. Do you have any water quality issues?  I’m able to get the same amount of lather from both Siero and crème fraîche. Enough for a three pass shave plus two or three more if I wanted. Which I don’t.  Have you tried scooping a quantity and bowl lathering? What kind of brush are you using?

Try a boar brush, soaked for 10-15 minutes prior to lathering. I mostly use Semogue boars and they lather very well. I usually bowl lather as well. I’m not a fan of synthetic brushes. I know lots of guy’s like them but I’m not one of them. You could also take some more time loading your brush if you’re going to lather off the puck.

I'll try a badger with the Crème Fraiche base. I typically don't bowl lather as I just load off the puck and lather on my face. Never had a problem with the Siero base but different bases require different methods sometimes.

I hope you find the technique that works for you because crème fraîche is a great base.
