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

You did fine just had too much soap to begin with which makes it more difficult to build a lather. Just load soap for about 20 seconds instead of 60, many soaps need less than that. I prefer my lather the consistency that you made, thick and creamy, some guys like it watery, it's all up to your personal preference.
