Hey all,

I'm used to using 'Wilkinson' soap, in the blue plastic box thing. And when using it, I put a small amount of very hot water on top of the soap/bowl, while soaking my brush. Then when I shook out my brush I poor out the small amount of water that was in the bowl and then just 'swirl' to get good lather. I treat that soap with very little love as I never particularily liked it in the first place, but was the only thing I could find.

Now I finaly found some Tabac soap, and I'm wondering if I should treat it in another way? I noticed some pictures where people have the tabac (in that white bowl that comes with it, if you buy that one) soap, they first 'swirl' in the pot where the soap is. And then create the lather in a totally separate bowl (I normaly do it straight on my face, pleasant massage :-))


My question is this: Is there any different routine for use with this kind of Tabac soap? The wilkinson soap is more creamy then soap in my opinion so it might be a different story.

Is it still necessary to poor a small amount of hot water on top of the soap to 'loosen it up' before going in for that swirl?

Do I need a separate pot to make the lather, or can I just swirl in the normal one where the soap is, and then 'lather up' straight on my face?

Sorry for these questions, but you're my only source of knowledge :-)
