    My method - soak brush in cup of hot water while showering. Shake brush out of excess water, swirl/pump brush on soap.

    His method - Soak soap in hot water for a few minutes (less for glycerine soaps), pour soapy water into a scuttle/cup/bowl. Swirl DRY brush on soap until tips are loaded, swirl brush in soapy water of scuttle/cup/bowl until lather is built. He also suggests pre-heating the scuttle by filling it with hot water while the soap soaks in some water.
    Best lather to date using Rick's advice! I got lather so thick I thought it came out of a ready-whip tub. Proof that technique seems to be HEAVILY involved in ALL aspects of straight shaving (honing, stropping, lathering, shaving).

    I think right now that the Shavemac brushes with the lightbulb shape are the best all around brushes for both soap and creams. I have been using the Moss scuttle with both.

    Have fun.
