Van Der Hagen Luxury soap. Good in a puck and even works great as a stick.
Very easy to make lather.
Very easy to make lather.
Any shaving soap, with the right ingredients (e.g. saponification with potassium hydroxide for more stable lather), is easy to lather with the right technique.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?
Cremo is not an easy Cream to lather, I have tried & tried.
But I keep trying to figure out.![]()
Is this a joke? I don’t think Cremo will lather unless you add other ingredients to it. It’s very slick though and my go-to when I’m in a rush.
I’d go with MdC for the best combination of ease, speed, and repeatability. It lathers very quickly and tolerates a wide range of water types and also the amount of water used. I really have to not be paying attention at all to get an over-hydrated or under-hydrated MdC lather.
No joke but I am. trying.
With soaps, the easiest/best lather for me is face lathering a stick- Arko, La Toja and Palmolive sticks are all incredible for me. I do need to see what other sticks are readily available as this is my favorite way to lather.
Any coconut oil soap, Martin de Candre, Canada Soap, Los Angeles Shaving soap Co, and many creams. Also most Italian croaps, Cella, Vitos, TFS, Boellis…..
I agreeOf my dozen or so soaps, Proraso green in a tube is the easiest.
