Thread: Lather help...

Do you press the brush in forcefully to get the soap into the bristles?

Do you add water as you go if needed?

Do you normally make too wet a lather or too dry?

yes i press the brush in, i have even tried getting all of the soap out of my brush into my bowl then going back for a second dip. this seems to help. I think maybe somehow I am not getting enough soap. I scrub the soap vigorously for about 30-45 sec, while pumping it from time to time and pressing down so the bristles spread out and swirl it around.

yes i add water when i feel its necessary. I kind of try to experiment, more water less water, no water, a LOT of water.

too wet, to dry?? i am not really sure, i know its too wet when its really soupy but i try not to do that too often.

it almost seems like i dont have enough soap, and i agitate it too much, if thats possible. But everything I have read makes me feel like i have too much soap as it is, but less definitely doesnt work...

I am also thinking i need to grab a nice badger brush, I think they might hold considerably more water and soap than my boar bristle, which would lead me to believe I have too much when in fact I do not have enough. Does that make sense?
