I approve of the profile picture.

There is no special ingredient to promote a lather? I read in several places that shaving soap uses glycerine or some liquid oil(s) to make it lather properly. It is funny how each resource would claim that just one or the other was responsible for lather, so it's impossible to tell if either source is wrong, or if both ingredients help.
