minus-squarewaldenMAlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 month agoOhhhh, the silk tallow base? I’ve killed a tub of that stuff. I liked that base, too! Definitely a little tricky, though.
minus-squarePorkButtsNTaters666linkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 month agoMaybe with a synthetic? What was your trick?
minus-squarewaldenMAlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 month agoI do tend to use synthetic brushes a lot. With that base I remember the proto-lather never really got any “bigger” while lathering, so I tub loaded what looked like it was going to be enough soap for the whole shave, then just added water to weigh it down a bit. That’s pretty much it.

Thanks, I’ll try this!
