Thread: Can't get a lather

Success!!!!

Turns out I'd done everything appropriately except the water part.

I'd start out dry and then add water when it became paste-like. Here's the thing, I was adding too much water.

This time when it got pasty I added literally 3 drops. Then whipped it around for a good minute then added another 3 drops.

Previously I must've added a good 20 drops. Makes sense.

I was a bit drier this time but I can manipulate that easily.

But I found most of the lather to be in the brush rather than inthe bowl.

Is that because my brush fans out a lot or the bowl was small'ish in size?
it was a regular cereal bowl. About 3 inches high and 5 inches wide.

Actually your bowl is too big. Use a small stainless mixing bowl about 3" in diameter, or one of the oversized tea cups or coffee mugs like they sell at starbucs ( I can't spell it, I don't drink coffee lol)

That huge bowl is allowing you to make really wide passes= lots of air into the mixture, smaller container=smaller swirls=less air and more room to expand up instead of out which will let the water settle out from the excess space when using a large container leaving you with a soupy mess.
