Then I put the soap in the little mug, pour some hot water on it and then pour the water out. Then I "charge" the brush with lather from the mug. Then I proceed to stir the brush around in the mug till some quantity of lather has developed. Then I put it on my face. Am I doing something wrong? My lather is neither thick or very lubricous. Can it be the water quality?

I was thinking of trying this soap out as my supplier now stocks colonel soap. Are you using a good badgers brush. I find bristle or sinthetic brushes don't work as well with the soaps. Just wondering what type of mug have you got because the soap does'nt actualy come with a bowl as such cheers gary haywood.
