TOBS Sandalwood soap lathering problem

[king1976]

Month ago I bought TOBS Sandalwood soap and I have problem with making lather. I must say that I used many brands and never before had similar problem.

The lather from TOBS breaks down quickly (when I lather left side and go to the right side the leather from the left side breaks down, it seems the leather "evaporate"). I tried with boar and badger brushes. I tried with tap water and distilled water. I tried with much water and with drier brush. I tried with lot of soap and with less soap. The problem still there.

So, I need advice if someone had similar problem with TOBS sandalwood soap?????

Remember to load the brush properly. Use the brush on the puck for at least 30 seconds before starting lathering up on your face. This applies to all soaps. I use one technique for all my soaps, and it works!

I have a TOBS Sandalwood puck that I just used today, as a matter of fact. It sounds like you're not quite loading up your brush enough. These pucks will last a long time, so don't worry about using up too much on each shave. First I put some water on the puck to moisten it. I then squeeze most of the water out of my brush and pour the water off of the soap and into my lather bowl. Then I load the brush for a while until the pseudo-lather on top of the puck gets pretty thick and sticky. After that, start lathering in the bowl. Today I didn't even have to add any extra water beyond the original soapy water.
