Stirling soap does not contain foaming agents, it relies on tallow, lanolin, animal fats to lather - means you have to work at it. A lot of hard water out of proportion to the amount of soap loaded will kill lather dead..

I've asked the question like that on purpose, keep it simple, just on techniques.
The idea being we get a list of techniques to try out with whatever water we have.

But the technique to give good or best results in your bathroom is dependant on the water issuing from your taps!
