Takeaways
- I'm going to read up again on face lathering and be sure I didn't miss something obvious, but I'm pretty sure I'm set there.
- I have some Arko on the way from a trade and will give it a run. Hopefully it's better.
- I may try shaving some of that Palmolive and bowl lathering it just to be sure, but I don't think this stuff works for me/my water.
- TOBS reigns king still.
Take a cheese grater and shred up that Palmolive stick and press it into a small cup/bowl. The little covered Pyrex one-cup containers from the super market work great. It will harden up nicely in a day or so. For shaving, while you soak your brush, sprinkle a tablespoon or so of hot water onto the soap and let it soften up for a few minutes (I do this while I shower). Pour off the water and then load your shaken-out, damp brush with the soap...make sure the brush has a thick load of soap on it..and then apply it to your face. It should be very thick and somewhat dry. Dip the tips of your brush into hot water and start building the lather on your face. Add more water as needed until you have a wet, creamy opaque coating of lather. It should be the consistency and appearance of yogurt. I can promise you that if you do this right, the lather will be the equal...or better...of your TOBS cream.
