Thread: Frustrating lather

Before I switched to cream I used to fill my cup, with the soap in it, up with hot water and let it sit a couple minutes as I was wetting the brush... Then, I would pour off the water leaving the soap hot, wet and ready to go and that seemed like it made quite a difference in both loading the brush and building the lather; most likely because I got more soap loaded. I was also playing with adding Glycerin (just the stuff from the Grocery Store) to my soap like 6-8 drops in the cup after I loaded the brush and right before building the lather. Right before I lather up with soap or cream I reach down and splash water up on my face so that it is kind of dripping/running off just seconds before putting the brush to my face.
