Thread: Help with my lather please

Hey guys,

I have a pure badger brush (Wilkinson), a Calani soap puck, and shaving cream from palmolive and tabac.

First three-four times with Calani were great, good lather that lasted untill the end of the shave. But since then i cant do it anymore. Now the lather has bigger bubbles and lasts for 1 minute on my face. Dries out immediately. I don't think i changed anything between the good attemps and the failed ones.

Creams, no problem. Any idea why the lather-making fails after a few good attemps? I have no clue. I tried face lathering, no. Using a dry soap puck, no. Using a wet soap puck, no.

Any tips/ideas are welcome!

(And for completeness:
i soak the brush for 5 min in hot water, put a few drops of water on the soap(or not), shake the brush dry, hold it by the knot and load the brush, lather in bowl, add few drops of water now and then when it seems necessary)
