Thread: making lather - like beating eggs or using a mortar and pestle?

kaiyen,

The aim is to incorporate water as the main component of the lather, not air

Excesssive beating & whipping will put in more air in than is useful.

Water and the soap in the lather, supply the hydration to the whiskers and the slip needed for shaving - air does none of these.

Like Goldilocks & The Three Bears - More than stirring, less than whipping is just right

Have fun !
