Ok, I just cannot seem to get the hang of this lather business. These are the steps I follow.
1. Soak brush in water
2. Shake brush a few times to remove excess water
3. Attack soap with brush
4. Either face or bowl lather
No matter what happens I just cannot seem to perfect it, I always end up with something that looks like lather but dries out before I even get one side of my face done. What kind of texture/feeling am I after exactly? It feels slick to me but obviously it dries up far too quickly to be of much use. There's an awful lot of small air bubbles in any lather I create, could there be too much air? I appreciate any help given. Thanks in advance.

Soap after loading brush
Straight from brush to bowl with no extra water
After adding a small bit of water
After working a bit more
End result after working even more
