Thread: Trouble building lather

That's a puzzlement. Some obvious and possibly stupid questions first:

1. Have you soaked your brush in either hot or cold water previous to loading it with soap?

2. Did you put a about a teaspoon of water on top of the soap to soak for awhile before you loaded your brush?

3. Have you tried adding a brush tip's worth of more water while trying to build the lather?

4. Do you use an addition of 3 or 4 drops of glycerin in your mixing bowl before trying to build a lather?

Sometimes it's the little things that matter.
