Hi gents,
Been wanting to switch to soaps from creams so I jumped and bought several (dear me) like D.R.Harris Arlington and Marlborough, Trumpers Rose, Tabac, Cella (soft soap), etc. However I can't get good slick lather from any of them. My procedure: let soap soak with a thin film of hot water on top of it, soak brush for about 3 minutes, squeeze brush, load soap for about 20-30 seconds, then face lather. I get tons of lather, fluffy, it looks right, however it is not sleek, I get no glide from my razor. Maybe my water is too hard for soaps? What could it be?
Any opinions welcome.
Thank you.
