plenty of water on your brushWhat is the secret to getting a good lather from these soaps? At least with the current formulation.
So these are thirsty soaps?plenty of water on your brush
One Gentle Squeeze and away you go
The Trumper hard soaps are notoriously poor performers. The lather won't be stable for long. Your best bet will be loading the brush heavily with soap then building the lather on your face. Then return to the soap for your second pass and start again. Any lather you produce in a bowl is likely to dissipate.So these are thirsty soaps?
Yes definitely although some are not overly thirsty.So these are thirsty soaps?

True - or you could just use the Trumper cream and not taint it with the other monstrosityNot if I superlather it with a Trumper cream.
...Someone on another forum mentioned that the new Trumper soaps no longer include Potassium in it's ingredient list and that Potassium is needed for it to lather? Any idea why they would remove Potassium from their shaving soaps?
I was worried you had posted your meth cookbook for a moment there
Potassium stearate is a good thing to see right near the top. The link from @Bogeyman gives a much better explanation than I canThe Spanish Leather is awesome, wish they made a hard soap version of both it and wild fern.

Cliff's notes (nutshell version) for those of us with the attention span of a squirrel?
Potassium soaps are more soluble than sodium soaps and readily produce lather. Therefore, potassium soaps are used to make liquid soap and shaving cream. Soaps from highly saturated, solid fats, such as tallow, lard, or shortening, are hard. Saponification of an unsaturated oil, such as olive oil, gives a soft soap.Cliff's notes (nutshell version) for those of us with the attention span of a squirrel?
