Is face lathering really so different because at least for me (and my equipment) it seems to be much easier when mushing and mashing my brush against soap? I've soap in a mug and then lathering in a separate bowl.

Yea, its from this site. You have to be careful about what you read, even here and also how you interpret something. For example, I tried that same approach only to discover that it works, but takes 5 times longer to make a lather, which is far inferior to what I was already making.

So, what works, and what works best; and then what additional caveats are required to make something work that are left out of the descriiption, are always problems we face here.
