Help with lathering Chubby 3

I think everyone will find their best method to lather the Chubby, but when you do, oh, what a luxurious experience, I have not found it to use more soap than smaller brushes, or if it does, amounts are not worth worrying about
 
Hmmm... That's exactly why I couldn't be bothered with Simpson brushes...

I've got a tiny Semogue boar brush and I get loads of lather... for a fraction of the price. And let's make no mistake... I tried several Simpsons... and my preferred ones are Paladin two band...
 
I've used this brush for a few months now and it just gets better and better. Loads hard soap in a few seconds and face lather like you've never seen! Soaked for 5 minutes and excess water flicked off.
 
My method at this point:

For croaps - I stopped loading from tubs altogether. I scoop and smear in a lathering bowl to load product or make lather in. Makes everything extremely consistent, no mess, no need to air out soaps, no broken hair on brushes (thin bleached boar bristles aka 'premium' really suffered from this).

For hard soaps - start with moist (not wet) brush and keep dripping water on top of the soap periodically as you load. No blooming needed. Water is what wicks up soap in the brush. However, if you start too wet you immediately begin creating lather while loading and get the foamy watery mess.

Loading product and lathering are two separate processes unless you are using mug soap (hard puck in a mug), then you load and lather at the same time in the mug.
