Still playing with the lather. Saw some people taking duration shots, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
Step 1. Make absurdly thick, wet and sloppy lather. (Soak brush, shake it out, load brush with soap until bristles begin to stick then load a little longer, put a few drops of hot water in bowl, begin swirling brush, keep swirling and adding water until desired consistency is reached. (This assumes that you want absurdly thick lather and have an essentially unlimited supply of shaving soap at your disposal (which you will once you buy a crockpot). You can load less soap if you need a less thick lather.)

Step 2. Wait 20 minutes, to see how it holds up.

It was a little wet, so there was a little dripping, but there was still a healthy cloud of lather at the end of the brush 20 minutes later.
Just for comparison, here's what the empty brush looks like:

(It's The Body Shop's synthetic shaving brush. Not bad if you want a reasonably stiff brush for about $12.)
Hope you all are having a fun weekend!
