Firstly let me say I love using this stuff and it's well worth a try, it can produce a rich cushioning and moisturising
lather that leaves your'e skin feeling lovely and soft. I normally face lather directly with this soap and that just means
loading my brush and applying it directly to the chops and lathering until the correct consistency is reached, for me
most lather issues are resolved by adding more soap and less water or both.
I know I'll knock up a great lather in a bowl take pictures post and document, it can't be that difficult. I'm in a hard water
area, I like to use my cheapest brush and an every day container to demonstrate that you don't need a high end badger
brush and scuttle to achieve great results.
Well I couldn't do it...I have a few ideas why but it didn't happen.
Usual start, soak brush, sit a little water on the puck.
Squeeze and shake brush, load brush thoroughly start aggitating until the cream starts to form, add water a few drops
at a time until lather increases in volume and becomes rich and slick.
This looks okay from a distance but when you get closer...
this is not what I like to shave with it is light and airy and would offer very little lubrication.
There are a few things that I noticed when trying to lather with MWF.
I will add a lttle later...
