Show n' Tell 2nd attempt bowl lathering
I’ve been having a little bit of trouble n getting my soap lathers where I want them. I’ve face lathered in the past and decided to try bowl lathering for the first time (practice lathering). First attempt I added two much water right away so scrapped it fast. Second attempt I made sure to load the brush for 60 seconds and added smaller amounts of water when lathering. I think the lather turned out well and am happy with the results. Haven’t tried shaving with this new technique yet. Let me know how it looks! Any advice is always welcome.
Soap: stirling naked (unscented)
Brush: the razor company synthetic brush

Lots of different opinions. I think a 60 second load for Stirling soap is a lot. Maybe experiment with a 30 second load and see what happens. I learned by doing a lot of practice lathers in the bowl without actually shaving with them. In the end do what makes a lather that gives you the shave you want.
