In my humble experience, it only takes 10-15 swirl strokes on the soap to load a brush - but 100 subsequent strokes in a bowl to produce the creamiest lather.
If you did 100 strokes on your soap puck, you would have way too much soap - just a mess.
Quit face lathering when I found out how much better bowl lather is.

True That IR1. I'm guilty of using too much soap making lather on the puck, that is the way my Old Dad did it, now I can stop doing that and lather in the bowl or even the face.

I like lather from a puck to feel like a cream, dense, slick. I don't need airy volume and never worry about having leftovers. I puck foof. On face I make circles followed by painting strokes. I'm thinking several paths yield acceptable results.

Water hardness changes everything. It is a bloody gigantic variable.

I've tailored my soaps to my water. Another way to say it, the non water friendly soaps whispered to me, 'don't you have something better to do?'

This x's 1000 here in middle Tennessee it might as well be rocks flowing through the faucet.

I'm a big advocate of palm lathering until you find out what works for a particular soap/cream. I like to feel my lather.

Yes it does, that's why I use Living water from the head of a mountain spring, it is the Only place to get living water, I also use it in making my fuel cells of + or- charged water.

Living water lathers like no other. Look it up. Orgone.

What an interesting concept. Sure does make sense and I'm going to conduct more research. Opens up a whole new perspective. Not just about shaving anymore but I like it! I'm going to try to someway that might make living water so to speak.
