Whats a good way to tell if I have to much soap in the brush? Will it not spread the lather as well, have a funny feel or something along those lines. Ive taken to soaking my soap and brush for awhile before I shave which allows for good penetration into the soap. I still press and twist that brush in there a good ten plus times. My lather has good properties, is there am issue using to much?
Make all things equal in terms of the type of soap and brush. Ive only used a handful of soaps (van der hagen, williams) and the pure badger is the softest bristle I have. I figure a nice silvertip with some higher quality soap might need more loading because of the softer bristle and flopper response?
P.S. after youve began to lather, have you ever gone back to load more into the brush?
