Okay - who has compared the regular base (naturals only!) to the low sweat?

Yes, I get it - the low sweat doesn't sweat, or at least less, like the name says.

But what about other differences?
Lather?
Hardness?
General feel?

thanks in advance for your help and opinions!!

I tried the low sweat MP base. It seems to be harder, but I found it more drying.

As I live in Australia and we can have very high humidity in summer, I have switched to using the LCP low sweat base only. I've noticed it's a bit harder than the normal base but the lather is the same and I don't have any negatives to add. If it's left out unwrapped it does sweat and I find that the sweat kind of crystalizes on the soap more so than the normal - the normal ones seem to just get slimy/sticky where the LCP gets a hard-ish crystal ... but that could just be me lol

When I am in the tropics and leave even the LCD out it does develope little sweat beads looks like morning dew and doesn't bother me at all. I like the lather and the bubbles.

I am finding the LCP doesn't give you so much time to play around before it sets.It seems to develop a skin very quickly.
