Thread: trouble creating lather

Soap getting sticky is a give-away for very hard water issues. get some bottled water and try with that. There are just a few variables to good lather. Quality soap, quality water, the right soap water combo and the correct amount of twirling. You just have to play with those and some can change with the soap you are using.

Some make the mistake of thinking lather should be like gillette foamy and most manually made lather is nothing like that. There are some creams that are but most are thinner because they lack all the air the canned goo have. If you get a good shave you have the essentials. You just play and improve from there.

thanks, i will try that

Yeah I had problems with puck soap when I first started, go to the cream and see how that goes, it was a lot easier form there. I have a puck I am buggered if I can get it to lather properly and have accidently bought a second of the same soap so will have to learn now. The hot water soak the puck pour water off then use brush on softened soap helped me a stack. Good luck with the hard water though.
