One way to load your brush well with soap is to turn the soap upside down as you swirl the brush round it. It's on one of Mantic's videos. I know Sir Prize is a fan of this method. I sometimes use it myself. Gravity just gives the soap a helping hand to fill the brush nicely.
random said:About the brush: I actually tried all my brushes, and I have a few: Rooney 1/1 and 3/1, Simpsons Tulip 2, EJ medium, Shavemac D01, Kent BK4. As I said, the lather seems good, not dry, not overly wet, not visible air bubbles, however the shave is not so good: dragging, nicks, irritation afterwards. Using creams all is ok. Maybe the stuff that is in soaps doesn't agree with me? What would be the ingredient that differentiates soaps from creams?
