my take on a superlatherHow do you do a super lather? I've heard them mentioned but I don't know much more about them than that.

You're a star. Thanks B. The glycerine may also be helpful with some of the soaps I'm struggling with.my take on a superlather
following..note* i've only tried it with williams mug shaving soap, which gives superb results.
4.I then start mixing my loaded up brush with the shaving cream & glycerin, adding more water to the superlather until i get it to the consistency which i like..The glycerin is the magic ingredient of the Uber/superlather...Give it a try, with your own variation. You can also add essential oil, but be careful how much you add, 'you can add, but you can't take away.
- First i soak the williams soap in hot tap water (completely submerged) for 10-15 minutes in a old tin mug, or a bowl which ever i reach for.
- next i pour the water out, i then take my damp boar brush and load it up for a minute or so until the brush is loaded up.
- After that i put a almond size dollop of shaving cream 'Palmolive is a personal fave' into my mixing bowl, followed by 6-8 drops of glycerin + a few drops of water.
I buy my glycerin from boots..The link : https://www.boots.com/value-health-glycerin-b-p-200ml-10021858
wonderful stuff, at a very reasonable price.

The glycerin will add extra slickness and glide to some of the soaps your struggling with.. I add some to the wilkinson sword soap bowl which helps to create a great lather.. My next outing with it I'll try adding some shaving cream with the mix. Enjoy the rest of the evening. BYou're a star. Thanks B.

It works a treat as well, i also started to add different oils to the bowl, not too much mind, i use mainly Palmolive soap with body shop Maca root, i started to do this to use up the Maca root cream as i did not care for the scent of it. i have started mixing the oils i like to 10ml of glycerine and add about 8 drops of mixture. Its all trial and error.You're a star. Thanks B. The glycerine may also be helpful with some of the soaps I'm struggling with.
