Monday: MB Aged Spice, Merkur Classic HD/Derby Result: 4.4
Tuesday MB Dragon's Blood, Parker 22R/7am Result: 4.3

Update to MB soap prep when going for lathergasm.
1) Soak MB soap for 1 min.
2) Wet brush and shake out
3) Dump soap water into lather bowl.
4) Charge Brush
5) Make lather in bowl. It will be on the thin side.
6) Gently squeeze lather out of brush into bowl.
7) Recharge brush.
8) Finish lather.

Result. Thick, slick mounds of lather filling the brush & bowl and good enough for 5+ passes with ease. When I first started using MB soaps I had lather building issues. Not anymore. I have more lather then I know what to do with. Now, I can scale back a little.

Get some sleep.

I'm fine tuning stuff now. I have the razor technique down to where I might nick once a month. The lathers on soaps and creams are all coming up to where I think they should be and then some even in harsh water and shaving conditions. I'm wasting lather but it gives me chance to try more stuff. What a dilemma!

 

Rich, thanks for the idea about squeezing the brush out and reloading! When I have the urge for a superlather experience, I will definitely be using it!!
