It’s been a while since I’ve changed up anything in the way I do things, but some gents were talking about it, so I’ve been trying it out. And I like it.
I’ve been mixing my lather before my shower. I let it sit while showering - I’m convinced it’s a better/thicker lather by the time I get out. And the brush is just as soft!
But the brush is also cold by the time you get out, so you either need to re-dip in hot for a bit and mix some more, tolerate it, or use a scuttle.
If you feel like it, try it out. Report back here as to if I’m insane, or if you’re sold. Of course if you have a “trick” - share!
