Thread: I'm doing something wrong!

Building a proper lather is a three step process. The step I think your missing is the hydration step.

You build lather by:

1) Charging the brush

2) Building the lather

3) Hydrating the lather

After, and I stress after the lather is built up and created you need to add more water to the lather to hydrate it. If you try to do this first it won't hold the water well enough.

So, try adding water after you've created a good lather. Take the hydration to the point of nearly breaking down the lather with too much water.

The usual mistake is thinking that getting the water ratio for the lather right is something done when you are building up the lather.
