My first soap

[echo21]

Hi,

thought I would take the plunge and ge a soap, I currently use The Body Shop Maca root cream and TOBS Avocado and wanted something with coconut so I bought Trumpers Coconut soap.

Amazing stuff, I didn't realise soap could be so slick!

I also realised that the bowl I was using wasn't big enough. the bowl I had produced a nice lather but it wasn't that slick, when I got a bigger bowl, the lather went very shiny and very slick.

Stupid Question time...

Is this something to do with the size of the air bubbles or does the amount the lather is whipped make a difference to the way in which the oils react?

I suspect that it's how much you whip it. I tend to do a lot of whipping when I lather some place besides my face, and generally get very good lather that way.
