Your brush shouldn't be too wet, load the soap 'till your wrist hurts then start hammering the bowl with the loaded brush, slowly add more water- a few drops at a time. That's it.hi all I'm after some advice.
I've been wet shaving for years and with brush and soap for about a year, DE for 3 months or so. I have had no problem getting a lather with my Taylor of old Bond Street sandalwood hard soap and my old boar hair brush and hand lathering.
For Christmas my better half bought me an Edwin Jagger bulldog bowl and tradional shaving pure badger brush. My first attempts with the new brush and bowl combo were a disaster and I had to go back to the old brush and hand lathering.
I have figured out from reading a few posts that I was using to much water with the badger brush and can now hand lather with it, but still fail if I try the bowl.
Anyone have any advice?!
Thanks in advance!!
Also do I need to soften the soap? I have been putting a little hot water on it whilst I shower but have seen some people put it in a sink of water.
Thanks guys!
I think I have not been getting enough soap onto my brush from what you guys have said. I was loading for about 30s.
