There are three ways to use and lather a shaving soap. You should choose the method that’s most convenient for you. However, to get the most out of your shaving soap, we recommend building the lather in a bowl or mug before application, as it yields the maximum amount of lather per shave, which is best for a large area of shaving needs.
3 Ways to Use and Lather A Shaving Soap
1. Let the soap soak for few minutes in your shaving bowl with a little bit of warm water.
Our soap is hard and needs to be softened before lathering for maximum yield. Hard soaps also last much longer than softer soaps.
2. Soak your brush in sink or mug with warm water for a few minutes as well.
A well-hydrated brush will build lather quicker and richer. This step is not necessary, but depending on your brush type—natural hair or syntactic—lathering feel may be different.
3. While the soap (and brush) soaks, wash your skin with warm water thoroughly to soften the hair and to hydrate the skin.
If you’ve just taken a shower—preferred—consider this step done. If your shave is not preceded by a shower, please take your time on this step. It’s super important to take care of your skin before applying a blade against it.
4. By now the soap (and brush) has softened. Pour most of the water out from the bowl or mug, only leaving a few drops.
5.Make sure the shaving brush is well soaked but damp. Squeeze out most of the water from the shaving brush.
6. Load the brush by rubbing it briskly in a circular motion on the shaving soap.
When lather starts to form, continue rubbing for about 30 seconds making sure the brush picks up ample soap.

4. Finally, shave with your favorite razor.
Method 2: Lather Shaving Soap Directly on Skin with Shaving Brush
1. Continue lathering directly on the skin in a brisk, circular motion, until desired lather has formed, coating the skin evenly.
