Thread: Lather goes on strong but then wimps out

Jim,
Also don't forget to load the brush heavily. Start by gently squeezing as much water as possible from the brush — just damp enough. Then load. Heavily. When you start making lather in the bowl, drizzle in little bit of water. Keep doing that, watching your water carefully. Spend a good two or three minutes whipping up your lather, tamping your brush occasionally. Keep working on it. By now you should rich lather. And yes, keep the water warm and not hot. You'll get there. Keep trying.
