Illustrated quide to making basic soap lather
I'll try to keep it simple. Bowl could be anything where you can whip the lather, old soap mug, bowl, latte cup etc. Mine has bought from flea market for 2€. It's fun to try a different sizes and shapes and I'm sure you can find one to suits you best.
Brush is Tweezerman badger brush which is in my opinion a very good starter brush. It's cheap ($13) and works well with soaps. I really like this brush and I can honestly say that it is a good value for money. Before I start I wash the brush using a normal shampoo and hair conditioner same way like I do with my hair. It softens the bristles and brush starts to work better.
Soap is Kent luxury shaving soap ( same soap as Mitchell wool fat, MWF). Good starter soap and quite inexpensive too. Not as cheap as Williams but much better quality. Mild clean scented and pretty easy to lather up.
3. Fill the bowl full of tap hot water. No need to use a boiling water because it could harm your brush. I like to stand the brush in to water instead of throwing it in. This saves the wooden handle when it doesn't soak in the hot water. Soak the bristles 5 minutes or more to get the proper absorbation of water. Now it's great time to take a shower.
