Easiest Soap to Lather

For the most part, I find that any soap that I can easily whip into a reasonably thick lather works just fine for me. Scents, of course, are very subjective. So the most important factor for me is how easily, quickly and consistently I can produce a god quantity of creamy lather. I have used many different soaps over the years (although none of the "super premium" soaps), and have found that Cella, RazoRock Dead Sea and pretty much any Stirling soap are at the top of the list for me. Cella, in particular, seems to be foolproof. It works great with any brush and isn't fussy about how wet or dry the brush is. I enjoy many other soaps, but if I'm looking to minimize the fuss Cella seems to be the one to use.

Any other suggestions?

Boellis Panama. Not only is it super easy to lather, even with extreme hard water, but you only have to use a miniscule amount. I bloom it while washing my face, then 5 swirls is all it takes for a 3 pass shave with extra left over. That's without squeezing any lather out of the brush.

Those are some of the top performers for me. Cella is great. Softer soaps will be quicker even than Cella. Long Rifle Soap Co's soaps are even softer than Cella so are quicker for me, and even better ( a sacrilege for me to write because Cella is my baseline soap--against which all other are compared) .

The only things quicker are sticks, cremes, or foam out of a can

I was going to say Barbasol, but I held back.
