Then I move over to the mug and continue whipping. Trouble is no matter how long I whip, I never get a thick foamy lather. It just stays down... a fairly light lather. After a few minutes I put the light lather on my face, but it's kind of runny and a lot of it ends up dripping off my face. Not to mention in all that time spent whipping up a lather, it's grown a bit cold and isn't the nice hot lather I'd like to have...
Yesterday I also tried moving the soap over to the mug, and just whipping up a lather with the soap in the same mug. No real change.
What's the deal here? Most of the pictorials I've seen show people whipping up a lather without too much effort... I'm spending several minutes with no visible difference...
