Thread: trouble creating lather

Also research your soaps. Some just won't produce a good lather, particularly big brand ones or farmers market soaps based mostly in olive oil. Learning to lather is best with a reputable artisan soap.

Opusx11 is correct. Check what hard soaps you are using. Some of them just are not going to produce a good quality lather no matter what due to the ingredients. The guys on here that use the pucks on a regular basis can give you several different suggestions one ones to try I am sure. My suggestion, just like I stated before in the previous post, is to go to a cream for right now and keep working on trying to build the lather with a puck if you like and you will eventually get it down pat I am sure. My first success with building lather on a puck was when I got the Mitchells Wool Fat. It did take me longer than the creams I was using of course, but I did get the Mitchells to lather up good and got a good quality shave out of it. Good stuff. I still lean towards the creams more than I do the pucks but that is a matter of just personal preference. Good luck and enjoy the journey...............
