Perfect lather every time, is this a fluke?
I have just started shaving with a brush and soap, and use my grandfathers old spice mug, and mug soap (origin unknown to me), with a boar hair brush. The past 10 or so times I have used this I got the " uber lather". I think I found out a system for this, but don't know for sure. Here it goes. I soak the brush in hot water for about 4 minutes, dump out excess water, take out brush, and gently hold the brush bristle down and drop it about 3-4 inches (holding it, of course), and stop abruptly, letting centrifugal force, force a small amount of water out of the brush. I do this about 2-3 times. The question is, the fact that I do not rinse the soap out of the brush after use, help me achieve this "uber lather"? Or is this simply "beginners luck"?:hmmm:
