I use a bowl for building lather, as I find it the easiest way to control the quality of it. I've never timed myself, but I guess it takes me 30-40 seconds (in a hard water area). Off all the soaps I use, Cella is probably the quickest.Thanks Frankie. A tub of froth is an accurate description of what I ended up with each time. Roughly how long do you think you spend building your lather after loading your brush, if you don't mind me asking?
That's a very good point. I bought a 1KG brick of Cella and transfer some to a 9cm diameter screw-top container, which makes it much easier to load the soap onto a brush.Cella is a good soap but the tub in it makes it difficult to load because it is small in diameter, I would suggest; use a smaleer brush if you have one and load the brush more/longer loading time. At first I had similar problem but when I managed to load the brush more, lather quality was much better.
Do any of you have some tips for building the right consistency of Cella lather? I originally assumed I wasn't getting on with a blade before realising my Cella lather wasn't providing any slickness/protection. I used the 'Marco method' from B&B which involves using a lot of water. I had loads of lather (which I originally assumed to be a win!) but the subsequent shave was rough. The lather had no slickness when I tested it with my fingers. I've also tried building it up using less water and there's a slight improvement but I can't seem to get it to match my other soaps and creams. Given the good reviews of Cella, I'm convinced the issue is me.
