I absolutely love the scents of NSS, but haven't worked out the lather yet. I'm a bowl-latherer, and I find that either I get a thick lather which feels too thick, or a thinner lather which has faded before I've finished shaving my face. I don't seem to be able to find the goldilocks point. Any tips?
I should say that the after-shave feel is great, and I love the fact it's vegan. My best result so far was this morning, as a super-lather with some Palmolive mixed in. If I can't work the lather out on its own, I'll just super-lather it from now on, because that was sensational
I find the Original & Olive Oil require very little water, but lots of air - more so than any other soap I've used. The way I lather Signature is closer to other soaps i.e. a little more water. Hope that helps - Paul
My technique is to lather for longer on the soap itself with less water than you might with other soaps. Gently lather on the soap, no need to scrub as you're just softening and lifting the soap into the brush.
