Thread: Can't Lather...

Hey guys,

Im a n00b and will be getting my first razor in a couple of days. The only problem I'm having is that I cant get my soap to lather. I think I did it once but it didnt stay thick and creamy. I am using Van Der Hagen soap as well as Ugly Mug soap. I have tried making lather in the bowl that came with the VDH Premium Set and also just making lather on my face using the brush. I have now ordered Tabac shaving cream to see if I have any better luck making lather with cream. Am I just doing something wrong with the soap?

My steps:

- Soak brush while im in the shower

- Dry off brush a bit (get rid of excess water)

- soap the brush up a little bit

- Make circular motions on my face to try and make lather/make circular motions in the bowl to try and make lather

- add a little water if lather does not seem to be forming


Any help?

Thanks,
