Thread: Getting a good lather

Here's how I do it. I use a soap mug which has my soap puck sitting in it. I use a second mug that I fill with hot water.
After a shower I fill the second mug and let my brush soak in it while I deoderize my pits, cotton swab my ears, etc..
I remove the brush and allow 4 to 5 drops of hot water to drip into the soap mug.
I shake my brush exactly 3 times into the sink and start to whip the brush in the soap mug. I am not gentle with the brush. I whisk the brush for like a 30 to 40 seconds like if I'm making a batter or a merangue.
My lather always comes out thick, creamy and hot just the way I like it. After the second pass, I let 3 to 4 more drops of hot water drip into the soap mug again the freshen the lather.
After you're done, rinse out your brush, pour the hot soapy water down the drain and pour any left over water in the soap mug down the drain.
Enjoy,
Ernest
PS: Lately I've been using my shaving scuttle which I got from Classic shaving. I do the same but use the lower tank in the scuttle to soak my brush. I gently whisk the brush around the soap ontop so the lather don't pour over the rim. Once the lather starts to build up I use a painting-like motion, going towards the water tank opening to really pick up soap and allow left over lather to pour into the water tank and not onto the sink. I rest the scuttle on a hard solid surface like my sink to prevent soapy water and lather from splashing around and making a mess. I love my shaving scuttle!
