It has been awhile since I have been on here, I have been experimenting with not adding water (blooming )to my soap, I am finding that I get a much denser lather, from just the wet brush. Do you guys add water to your soap or just use the wet brush?
Umm humm. We've had a good long talk about that. No real agreement except that you have to get soap, water, a brush, and your face all in close proximity. Everything else is details.
I may be a soap bloomer .... Here's what i do, you tell me if it's blooming. I get the faucet water hot. I take the soap im gonna use, run the hot water onto it, then i turn it over, let the water run off it, set it to the side (definitely wet), the i fill a cup half full to soak my brush in (boar,badger,synthetic), then i wash my face, I repeat I wet all items face brush soap and razor. They are all wetted. I hiccup starts, some soaps like more water, some less. Just like some brushes need to be dewatered, some just a flick gets them right, some are a two flick and finger job (we are only talking brushes guys, i known it sounds pretty odd). Soft soaps cremes are all bowl creations. But most soaps are face lather endeavors, and all are wetted beforehand. So y'all tell me, am I a bloomer?
sounds good to me..i have a similar routine ..excellent lathers with all products i have, fancy or meager..
Well, I haven't seen any of @david of central florida's brush handles, but I'll take your word for it.
