Thread: Soap vs. Cream

I should probably get a boar brush for my soaps before I wear out my brand new 930.

how does one go about using the cream? is there much difference in technique? do i just apply and shave or lather it in well or what? how do you guys do it?

I use my brush to fetch a pea size amount from the jar and work it in my bowl. I add a conservative amount of water to build lather. I use Castle Forbes.

Soaps just take a little longer to make lather. I agree with the boar brush is better for soap. Some the softer soaps work ok with boar brush.

When using creams, I have an espresso spoon, put an amount about the size of an almond, perhaps a little more, into my mug and have at it.

Soaps: I don't pre-soak the brush. Before hopping in the show I'll put a Tbsp or two of hot water in the soap. Out of the shower, that water goes in my bowl, dry brush into the water, then I start loading my brush.
