I've posted my lathering routine a few times using Conk soap:

-Soak brush in hot water in one mug
-Drizzle about 1/4 teaspoon of hot water on Conk puck in another mug
-Shower, strop
-Squeeze out 90% of the water out of the brush (a lot more than I used to)
-Load brush with soap
-Lather on face
-Drizzle hot water on the base of the brush (near the handle) until I get the right water mix for a good lather

Anyway, I ran out of hot water today in the water heater, so I used a teapot to boil some water. I soaked the brush with boiling water, and used the near-boiling water to drizzle on the brush to add moisture. The lather was *incredibly* thick using boiling water vs. normal hot tap water.

Anybody else notice this?
