How to Lather a Shaving Soap in a Bowl or Mug - Hard Puck Lathering Tutorial

If you are just starting out into the wet shaving world, how to lather may seem obvious, but you won't get great bubble-free, creamy lather unless you give it the love it needs. With good lathering techniques, and with some practice, you'll be lathering like a pro in no time. This lathering tutorial is for a hard shaving soap puck. However, the lathering process would be similar for other soaps as well, you'd just skip steps that are not applicable. Be sure to shower before shaving, as your skin and hair needs to be well hydrated for an irritation free shave. And this helps a lather do a much better job in protecting your skin. A good brush is just as important as a good shaving soap. They work together to build a proper lather. We recommend using pure badger shaving brushes because they hold water more effectively, which helps lather quicker and richer. Boar hair brushes are good as well. Lastly, make sure you're comfortable holding the lathering bowl or mug. Building lather for 30 seconds may tire your hands if the bowl or mug is too heavy or awkward to handle in one hand, especially for a non-dominant hand. Honestly, you don't need to buy a fancy bowl or mug, just look around what you already have in the house.
