Need some advice please.
I've had a bowl of T&H's Luxury Soap for nearly two years now and I honestly can say that I don't ever remember making a decent lather with it. :?
I've tried badger and boar brushes, I've even used an ancient Wilkinson brush on it. Bowl or face lathered, I just can't get a lather that is worth shaving with - too thin, no glide or cushioning. The only time I can remember getting anything near shave quality lather was when I was breaking in the 1305, used a bowl and made what seemed like a usable lather, but nothing since.
Todays lather was made in the bowl with the 1305 that was loaded for about 15/20 seconds and mixed for a couple of minutes, but by the time I'd finished the first pass the lather in the bowl had died, so I loaded the brush again, but by this time I was getting angry so gave up with it. Both the soap and brush were pre soaked for about 5 minutes before use.
Don't want to use this soap anymore as it DOES MY 'ED IN!!!!!
CALM. CALM. CALM. Calm.
So any of you guys got any thoughts on where I am going wrong? Or should I just stick to creams?
TIA
