My lathering technique with Italian soft soaps

[Uncas]

On his recent visit,I taught this to my youngest grandson. It looked like a pie in the face contest. We could have shaved his eyebrows and forehead. Lots of laughs and good memories.

Excellent advice all around. Will definitely be giving it a go.

You can also do this with the Williams Puck !

Tcheon Fung Sing Agrumella & lather for all my buddies.

2 minutes swirling with full wet brush in the soap.
3 minutes swirling in a dry bowl, adding few drops of hot water when swirling.

It is important to mention that many say that with this method you waste a lot of soap. This is so untrue. The puck when rinsed was to the same level, up to the top.

Thanks again KING MARCO.

PS Maybe try this with my problematic soap DR Harris.

Awesome lather !

Do you think so? Thanks. And the quality of the camera is not very good!

Will try with other soaps too.

So, basically, this is standard swirl loading while keeping the brush super saturated?

That is correct, with basically no pressure but the brush tips just making contact with the soap.

..and when foam starts building increase the speed.

Randy -
I am diabetic so you know what a complement I mean by saying; 'This lather looks better than frosting for an Italian Cream Cake.'

Works like a charm. My first time trying this after about 5 months wet shaving I've never gotten my Semogue 1800 to produce so much lather. Sold!

Is this what everyone on the internet refers to as "The Marco Method?"

Yup, you got it.

Yup, you got it.

Thanks! Glad I found the original post then. Great info!

Well, I used this technique this morning and it worked GREAT! Wow! Heaps of lather!

I used a Semogue 1800 Boar Brush.

Thanks again!
