I have been wet shaving shaving since 2014. About 2-3 years ago I started using arko. About 8 months ago I started lathering the soap wrong and always got a watery or thin lather. I looked at lather videos and just couldn’t get the right lather, finally switched soaps. Tonight I started to think about my lather technique, and I realized I had at some point started doing some silly things that was producing my poor lather. I decided to look at an old lather post on the forum that used a dry brush… following this method I went into my bathroom and produced a good 8 inch soap lather in about 2 minutes that filled my entire bowl to well past over flowing…the arko lather finally lived up to its reputation, and while I feel stupid and silly for having fallen into bad technique, I also am amazed at the lather I got. This was strictly and experiment and when I got that 8 inch lather i was ashamed that my face wasn’t prepped to shave but, darn that soap lathers amazing.
So that time when arko was hard to lather because the shaver started doing it wrong.
