Gents,I have been asked a couple times how I am lathering my Sebum Gold Soaps. I am no expert, but I am happy to share. Thus far I have used Tonka, Blue, Red, Lime, Purple, and Gold.The best soap I have ever used is Tonka, and the second best is this Sebum Lime. I just used Lime a little bit ago, and here is what I did.I soaked a shavemac two band in a tea cup of distilled water, and I let it sit while I was in the shower. In addition, I smeared some of the Sebum Lime soap in the bottom of my lather bowl, and I randomly put 10 drops on it with my syringe. I also had that sit on top of the soap while I took a shower.Once I was done with the shower I removed the brush from the distilled water, and shook out all excess water. I proceeded to lather until the soap was pastey.I then added exactly 1ml of distilled water with the syringe, and went back to work until the soap was pastey.I then added exactly 1ml of distilled water, and went back to work until the soap in the bowl was pastey.Here is what the brush looked like at this step...pastey.I then added exactly 1ml of distilled water, and went back to work until the soap was pastey.Now we are starting to get somewhere! I next added 1ml of distilled water, and went back to work until the soap was pastey and building up on the walls.Next I added exactly 1ml of distilled water, and went back to work. Once some nice lather was building up on the walls, I scraped my brush over the walls, and this was where I was at...it’s starting to look nice, and I was starting to get excited with what was hiding in the brush!I next added 1ml of distilled water, and I went back to work swirling the brush around, pumping it up and down on the lather, and I figured that it was ready for a brush squeeze to see where I was at in the process. Here is what was squeezed out of the brush.Pretty awesome, but not yet perfect. I again added exactly 1ml of distilled water, and went back to work swirling the brush around the bowl, whipping the lather, and pumping the brush. I did this for a bit, and here are the final brush squeeze pictures.I hope that helps some folks who might be having trouble lathering this soap. This was plenty of lather for three passes, and a lengthy touch up pass where I was chasing the BBS with my extremely mild Gillette Super Speed razor.I guess the main advice I have is to use distilled water, use a syringe, use patience, and have faith. You will be rewarded!VrMatt
